Tristar incident was 27/5/85 with a flight from Palma to LBA - charter. There had been a rain shower and the A/C ran of the end of the runway damaging front gear and grounding both wing mounted engines. Accident report mentioned poor adhesion on runway and restrained reverse thrust available on this type. Only took an interest as I was due to fly out of their later that day with BMI and had to go to MAN.
