A question: A close relative was telling me that when she was flying back from Switzerland with her children (she lived there) . Her aircraft made the most horrendous landing at Luton. Oxygen masks deployed, passengers told to brace. The engines made quite a noise, passengers got blooded, one chap looked like he had a broken arm and the aircraft nose wheel ended up in the mud. Obviously my relative was more concerned with her young family but she believed it was a Boeing 707 and they were diverted to Luton as their destination should have been Gatwick. It was traumatic and she could not remember the details so well. It may have been 1973. She eventually had her luggage sent to her.

I cannot find a reference anywhere, can anybody help ?

It will be much appreciated.
