Just to correct your post.
The Electra in Shannon (N285F) was operated by Renown Aviation of Miami and was on wet lease to Channel Express. It did have Channel Express on the side but was crewed by Americans.
The crew forgot to lower the landing gear and realised in the flare. They went around but three props hit the runway causing #3 engine to separate, #4 eng to fail completely and #2 to produce reduced power due to bent blades and damaged controls. They made it round the circuit and landed with the gear down. The aircraft was beyond economic repair and was broken up.
Thanks Dixi and Dave,
I wasn't aware the aircraft was wet leased.
The rest was just a vague memory it was quite a few years ago, I remember watching the aircraft being broken up.
