As I understood it from a brief mention on Radio 1, it involved an Iberia flight taking off, and a United flight coming in. I didn't get any other details, though.

LAST EDITED ON 06-05-01 AT 02:18 AM (GMT)[p]Ok, I've had a look at the BBC website, and there was an incident involving an IB aircraft and a UA 747 ( I alluded to this incident already), details [link:news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_1310000/1310877.stm|here], on Thursday, May 3rd, but there was also an incident involving a BD Airbus and a BA 747 on Friday, April 28, details of which can be found [link:news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_731000/731550.stm|here].

Having said that, neither of the reports are very in-depth.

Cheers,

Well by chance I could know that the IB plane involved, was
the DAILY FLIGHT TO MY HOMETOWN SCQ. INCREDIBLE. It was a MD87.
