Expess has updated the story

The Daily Express has updated this story..........

The Civil Aviation Authority has also confirmed that it has received a Mandatory Occurrence Report, either from a pilot or crew member, which referred to a heavy landing.

Additionally, the Sunday Express has obtained the flight's classified landing report logged on BA's internal systems. The report says: "Variable winds on approach into MAD. Approx 50ft aircraft Rate of Descent (ROD) increased.

"A lot of thrust applied but aircraft landed firmly before ROD could be arrested. All cabin crew complained of back or neck pain. Crew were examined by paramedics on the aircraft who confirmed that they were not fit to operate as crew but were fit to passenger back."
