It was 42TB Crew 4 pilots were GT Smith and Gordon Laing.
and Dave Hanns was the AEO. I cannot recall the rest of the crew.

For some time there was a 1:50000 map in the OCU showing the track annotated with the time and events. I still have the transcipt of the incident. It makes interesting reading and shows how well it was handled by the whole crew. However if GT hadn't made the decision he did, to turn back for 13, but had gone for a reland on 31, I doubt that they would have made it. Nice one Gordon.
