i heard the wing fell off in flight, and the right main gear was missing when it came to the gate. Departed on time.

heard they picked up the wing from the Channel.
Pilots managed to continue on one wing and one engine by applying side slip and land safely in LHR.

PAn Pan was declared by pilot.
Amazing how news changes hehe
