Newcastle Plane off the Runway
I've heard from a friend that a plane has come off the runway at NCL in the past 20mins or so. Looks as if other planes are circling the city. Any news on this?

I've heard something similar - two Jet2's currently holding overhead (look like last night's mail flights positioning back in). AF gone to EDI, BA back to LHR(!) and KL to MME

Ok guys/girls.
To save ourselves from the inevitable why did this happen etc etc etc.My unofficial sources reveal the following:
Pilot error not adhering to SOP's.
Tailwind landing icy runway.
Had this been an Airbus,would not have happened.
nobody injured therefore not serious.Nothing to see here move on.
That should save at least 10 pages of the usual BS!

Panda, you forgot:
I've landed in weather like this more times than you've had hot dinners, eyes closed, one arm tied behind my back blah blah blah etc.,
Also: My friend who's a pilot reckons...
