FTA twinstar I think it was YBX
I was on the ground at the time
2 Pax ok, aircraft is still on 03L now
Nothing said to TWR prior to landing so no apparent issues with the aircraft.

From the Adelaide Sunday Mail:
Two people escaped injury when the wheels on their twin-engined aeroplane disengaged at Parafield Airport yesterday afternoon. The training flight, with a student and instructor on board, was forced to do a wheels-up landing. A spokesman for Parafield Airport said emergency services were called, but no one was seriously injured.
Disengaged? Hmmm - that's a new one!

Maybe if there is any truth to this article (c'mon now they SOUND technicalogical like), maybe the regulators need to have a look at pulling the certification if a locked indication suddenly reverses itself on landing?:rolleyes:

Isn't somebody going to post the last 15 METARs for YPPF for us to examine?
