Third. Luxair one on a Britannia subcharter in the 70s (?) and a BA one in 1992 diversion from Heathrow.

It first diverted to Prestwick but when it got up country the weather went out in Scotland so the crew declared an emergency and came to Luton. I vectored it onto the ILS. It was only when it was on final we discovered it had Prince Andrew on board!

That's me in my car behind waiting to do a runway inspection after its departure. I don't recall it causing any damage.

Sorted the pic! A Dave Gearing photo.
