I have an old copy of the UK NOTAM for procedures to be followed for a Shuttle diversion. Gravely states that it will not be squawking emergency as no IFF etc. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .A few years back a B-1 had the wings stuck at full sweep. There were a lot of frantic calls to find a runway available where they could vv fast otherwise they were going to eject over the Bristol Channel. As I remember, I think they eventually went to Germany (Hannover, 10,300ft??)
