HC Deb 21 February 1968 vol 759 c140W
Dr. Bennett

asked the President of the Board of Trade what was the identity of the multi-engined jet aircraft that took off low over central London, passing over Westminster at 22.55 hours on Friday night, 16th February; what was its maximum altitude over London, S.W.1; and at what proportion of full power it was operating over central London.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

A BAC 1–11 made an emergency landing at Heathrow at 23.01 hours with one engine out. It would have been over Westminster at about 22.55 at 3,000 feet. The power setting was above normal because of the emergency.
