BA165 TLV G-VIIX (just took off 18h32)
BA9716E LHR G-YMMN (ETD 1840)

Posts are not clear to me: which one is the plane that made the emergency landing from TLV?
And which is the one from LHR that came to pick up the stranded passengers later on?
Thanks for any clarification.

G-YMMN was the "emergency plane", G-VIIX was the replacer.
