I'm sure I should know, and am expecting a barrage of abuse, but what does that stand for? Just want to widen my knowledge, forgive me!

Yes and apparently it came within 1000 feet of another aircraft - Gosh!. Not only that, but there was only one pilot in the cockpit as the other had taken an unauthorised break. Oh, and it narrowly missed the village school before it recovered.
Should be enough to go on with.........:D :rolleyes:
(Pre-emptive apologies if I offended anyone with flippancy...)

Right chaps, just before anyone makes the inevitable link to other events concerning this type - IT WASN'T A UFCM! Good, I'm glad that's clear and perhaps 'Lucky Strike' (you know who you are) can get back to work.
