Mayday over Manch 16th March 2007
Heard a Mayday today whilst talking on a Manch freq, apparently smoke in the flight deck. Was handed over to Leeds smartish.
Last heard he was vectored to 24R, hope everything worked out ok for the crew and all on board are ok.
Anyone know the outcome please?

We arrived back in the MAN area as this SAS aircraft was heading back to land and spent 20 mins in the hold while they got on the ground.
As we taxied in after landing, we passed the aircraft parked on the pier. There were a handful of fire trucks around it and a chap offloading bags from the rear hold.
As we walked down the pier after the flight we saw a fuel bowser had connected up to them.
Glad it turned out well for them.

I presume this was one of their MD's...Must be a constant pain in the ass flying those, considering how often they have smoke in the cabin/cockpit.

So was it the same one?
Sorry to labour the point here but does anyone know (Short Approach maybe) if it was the same ship involved in the SAS smoke related turn back the week before?
I would be interested in the tail number because some ex Swissair MDs went to SAS.
Thanks,
