Answer 2

Marty, thanks for that link, i've just read it. oh my god, how terrifying for all concerned. I never even heard about this story at the time, was it not in the media much?

Answer 3

The aircraft concerned was a BAC 111, not a Boeing 737. The aircraft landed safely at Southampton.

The accident was due to a maintenance technician fitting the wrong size of bolts into the pilot's windscreen.
