Yes, USA Honolulu, Hawaii, airport, and ATC subsequently "reported" that we had ignored two advisory calls, No Gear, Go Around until the 3rd call. No one subsequently recalled hearing ATC order a Go Around, so was that just ATC indulging in "knocking" a British Airline, as had happened to me once before at JFK, or were we too pre-occupied with trying to correct the flap problem to enable us to continue to land ? (shades of the accident into the Everglades when the crew were too pre-occupied in sorting out a failed nose gear green confirmatory gear extended - or not - light ? )
In any event, long before any need to alarm the Tower with a gearless approach, I instructed the co-pilot, an experienced Captain returning to flying after a medical issue, to execute the go around, and with application of go around power the leading edge flaps extended - a clue there somewhere?
We advised the Tower that our problem was solved and got vectors back for a successful second, visual, approach. The issue of the supposed ATC warnings only came to light at The Subsequent Court of Enquiry by the company, during which our actions were not exactly congratulated, but at least approved.
