I understand that the circumstances surrounding the emergency landing made by an aircraft piloted by Sir John Stevens at Newcastle-upon-Tyne airport on 3 February have been investigated by the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) of the Department of Trade and Industry. The results of the AAIB investigation will be published in the AAIB monthly bulletin. There has been no investigation of the incident by Northumbria Police.
