Guys, not a usual posting, but I know a lot of you are wizards, so here goes...Many years ago, I'm not sure of the date, a UAL 747 was diverted to land at Wellington, New Zealand (NZWN). This is interesting, as Wellington's runway is not long enough for 747 ops, and only handles 747's in emergencies.I've put various permutations of this into Google, and are unable to find anything that gives me a detailed review of how and why this happened (I'm not too interested in pictures, but it would be a bonus if included).So you very resourceful people, can anyone find me a URL link to sites that would give a report on this event? I'm sure there's a few PC/Internet gurus out there that can work wonders with search engines, and I would be hugely grateful if anyone can help.CheersTimWellingtonNew Zealand

The incident is mentioned briefly on this page along with a picture of the 3rd 747 to land there---http://www.daedalus.co.nz/~don/aviation/On the sites home page ---http://www.daedalus.co.nzthere is an email address for the photographer - might be worth while contacting him.Good luckDave
