Aircraft landed with undercarriage problems, believed right side main gear retracted. Rwy covered in foam plus disabled acft. Awaiting AIB clearance to move it.

Glad it got down safely.
OOI in the UK would TNT pay compensation to BHX and the operators for all the inconvenience and cost.
Maybe BHX should have a nother runway.
Can any of their smaller operators use CVT or is it EMA ?

I am confuxed.....if stan was dest and closed, and I expect Lut closed too...and now B Ham closed toooooo...
Luton night closures, should be open again by now but its only scheduled to open about 6am local and is often later than this as they landed Brum at 0606 it makes sense.

Oh but they did
Rumour has it that they did pay a brief visit to EMA prior to BHX but unfortunately left some little bits there that make landing all that much easier.

The reduced distances;
REDUCED DECLARED DISTANCES, RWY 15 AVBL FOR DEPS ONLY. RWY 15 TORA 1650M TODA 1775M ASDA 1650M LDA NIL. DEP ACFT REQUIRED TO BACKTRACK RWY 15 VIA HOLDS E1 OR T1. 15 JUN 07:46 UNTIL 15 JUN 15:00 ESTIMATED

Seeing the info about reduced take-off distances, I'm a little confused as to where exactly the a/c came to rest. Looking at the photo, I thought it was the intersection of 15/33 with 06/24. Or is it opposite K1?

Handsfree, your post seems to have been overlooked.
I have also heard that a part or all of the RIGHT gear was in East Midlands, with the rest of the aircraft on the runway in Birmingham.
Seems absurd. I assume the aircraft was planned to EMA, being a TNT base.
We await further details with some interest.
