This happened on 15th June 2006.

Boy was I busy that that where I work (TNT - aircrarf side), I posted a thread on this at that time.

Basically they where trying to land at Stansted, but the weather was too bad and where diverted to Liverpool, again weather diverted them to Newcastle

An ATC cock up caused the pilot to accidently turn off the auto pilot and by the time he managed to react the AC hit the ground 90M to the left of the runway leaving behind the righ hand main landing gear.

He managed to pull up and divert to Birmingham where they made a text book emergency landing. which resulted in the airport being closed.

AS there was an England match in Europe loads of fan miised there flights and the match.

Because of the bad press the crew where dismissed (Unfairly).

The irony of the situation the AC was flyable one repairs would have been made. But after AC was supported on the right hand engine on a flat loader, the process of a tug & flat loader pulling the AC became out of sink which caused the airfame to twist thus righting off the AC.
