This video clip has been on YouTube for over 10 years now, but is well worth watching if you haven’t seen it as it is a great example of professionalism, teamwork & remaining calm under pressure! Just after take-off from Manchester Airport, a bird was ingested into the starboard engine of a Thomson Fly Boeing 757 bound to Lanzarote. The plane eventually made a safe landing back at Manchester after a text-book handling of a Mayday call.
