My Hometown Airline.

An airliner carrying up to 296 passengers came within 100ft of smashing into a suspected drone as it landed at Heathrow, a report has revealed.

The pilots of the Saudia plane reported that there was a 'high' risk of collision as they flew underneath the object on their final approach in July.

The B787 Dreamliner was flying at around 170mph at a height of 600ft when its first officer spotted the suspected drone pass just 100ft over the cockpit.
