BA 747 emer Landing in BAH in 1983
Does anyone know the details of a BA 747 nose wheel up laning in BAH in 1983( MARCH APRIL ) followed by an evacutaion. A friend of mine was on that flight and says they were on an flight from AUH to LHR and diverted to KWI due to Engine trouble. In KWI the problem was fixed and on the KWI LHR flight they developed futher engine trouble with "smoke in one enigne" (as quoted by the captain) forcing them to divert to BAH. This time the nosewheel wouldn't come down and a nose wheel up landing was performed. Apperantly the captain did an excellent job especcially in keeping the pax informed as to what was going on. The passengers were mostly expat teens returning to UK schools so the 3 day layover in a BAH ending up being a big party!!!
