PS That Malta aviation history site is a fascinating resource in its own right.
I can assure you the FSL one got a new set of wheels and a new prop - and I think that was it . The pilots reflexes were astounding - he said he just felt it start to drop and hauled back on the stick and banged the throttles. But they were very very good "bush" pilots who did an awful lot of hours on the Dakota in some very odd places. Almost all ex RAF of course.
