736jock, did you not notice the smiley face in the above post?

Norwegian Airport Authority Chief at Narvik airport is quoted having said the following: Årsaken er uklar, men kan ha sammenheng med vinterforhold og glatt rullebane.
In English: The cause is unclear as yet but could be linked to wintery conditions and slippery runway.
Acc to the same chap, the taxiways were gritted(is that the English word?) it wasn't windy and neither the runway nor the taxiways were especially slippery.

M609 adding a bit of rumour he himself has picked up is hardly cause for neck winding.

Professional Pilots Rumour Network right?
