What a fascinating read, the accident report makes. I recall seeing numerous 727's take off successfully from Luton - this one certainly seems lucky to have survived.

Weren't the first Manx passenger flights operated by a Viscount? I may be wrong but I seem to recall seem to recall their Viscount at Luton in the mid to late 80's.

A much missed route :oh:

Talking of rear facing seats, I seem to recall flying from Luton to Dublin in the early 90's on a Ryanair 1-11 which had at least one row of seats facing backwards.
