This was the TNT cargo 737 on 15/6/06 that left its starboard undercarriage in the grass adjacent to the runway at East Midlands
before diverting to BHX, and landing "safely", but was then blocking the runway for ages preventing the Brits from travelling to Germany to support the England footie team
The AAIB report is out today - and I hear that there will be News stories running on local TV, maybe also National BBC / ITV depending on what else is happening in the world
Wonder if there's anything in the report about whether the pilot was alerted by someone from East Mids that his undercarriage had been ripped off the aircraft, or whether he continued the flight to BHX still trying to lower the non-existent gear
