incredible the Btours tristar was repaired after the LBA overrun - if the a/c had been a few years older I doubt the expense was worth the bother

the flight was in fact iirc the very first inbound of a Palma W pattern charter series of the season - I do not think they came back in again with heavies - or did they?

BMA we had 2 viscount landing incidents both in poor weather 80/81 - one a/c G-AZLT was basically a w/off but we rebuild it with wings from a retired viscount
