This evening, I just happened to be having a look at FlightRadar24, and I noticed that RYR7XN from Stanstead to Dublin had done an abrupt U-turn over Manchester. It was now retracing its course. FlightRadar's additional information changed to "Diverting to - London (Stanstead)" - and it indeed duly landed back at Stanstead.
However, when cross-checking with FlightAware (flight RYR212 / FR212), while the flight track on the map is the exactly the same as FlightRadar24, rest of the information clearly indicates that the plane landed on time in Dublin.
