I've just seen that there are books published on Manchester diversions etc.
I'm only interested in one so if anyone has the details of the aircraft involved I would be very grateful.
1983 - early hours of a Tuesday morning in August (16th, 23rd or 30th) a Britannia 737 diverted from Newcastle that originated in Corfu. I was only 9, can't remember the reg but do remember the attempt to land at NCL in zero visibility.
