Madrid
The guys should have checked the tables for Madrid before diversion but the skipper decided it would be better for repair as it was a major station.
The Madrid controllers were as useless as they were highly paid and would stick Iberia onto or across the landing runway and sod everyone else (wasn't just the Brits as happened to me a couple of times). Go around power was set but the bird kept descending..the skipper did a fantastic job realising what was happening..lowered the nose whilst flying over lower terrain, accelerated, got the droop in and as minimum drag was around 250 knots along with ram recovery factor got away with it.
