It was big news at the time. Evening flight to Aldergrove (now Belfast International -BFS). Apparently, they misdiagnosed the problem and could have had the use of the No. 2 engine which would have taken them safely into East Midlands and saved 47 lives. Fortunately, such incidents are extremely rare. The aircraft a B737-400 was pretty new at the time.
