A Jet2.com Boeing 737-300, registration G-CELD performing flight LS-804 from Barcelona,Spain, to Manchester,UK, with 144 passengers, was on approach to Manchester's runway 23L when the No.1 (left hand) engine (CFM56) ingested a bird and suffered repeated compressor stalls. The crew went around from about 1,200 feet and entered a hold shutting the engine down, positioned for another approach and landed safely about 20 minutes later.
Ground observers reported the engine was emitting unusual noise, repeated thuds, smoke and streaks of flame were emitted from the engine. According to an eyewitness report:
"I work in the Thomas Cook hangar at Manchester Airport and G-CELD is currently sitting outside my office window. The first thing to say is that the affected engine is the No 1, i.e. the left hand engine, not the right hand as in the above report. Having looked at the fan blades I can see no sign of a bird strike... and they do make a mess. The engine will be changed and no doubt a full investigation will follow".
