Hi there
I am trying to find some information out for a friend who was on a Caledonian flight in December 1998 which made an emergency landing at Brest in France. From what he remembers the Flightcrew described the problem as hydraulic and it was a landing without flaps , reversers or spoilers. The wheelbrakes got hot but a successful emergency landing was performed. The aircraft was a 737 (not sure which model) and the flight was from the UK to Toulouse I believe. Sorry to be vague but my friend (we are both SLF) described it to me today (5 years after the event) and he was a little rusty on the details.
I have looked on the AAIB site and the NTSB site but can find no information relating to this incident.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
