VP-BMS was as diversion from Luton. This from a Luton website earlier: DA50 VP-BMS currently orbiting just East of Stevenage/over North East Stevenage (around 7.5 miles on the 26 approach) at 3000ft - was about to establish for r/w 26 at 00.54 when crew advised Luton approach of u/c problem. Aircraft unable to lower any of its u/c and has advised ATC 30 mins fuel left (at 01.04). Aircraft still orbiting at 01.11 (around seven orbits now). Aircraft requesting instructions and advice re diverting to an airport where foam can be laid down for a gear up landing. Stansted and LHR 27R being considered. Crew now requesting vectors to Stansted for 23 (at 01.12).

Aircraft has opted for landing on Stansted 05 - requested runway foamed if possible for a gear up landing. Now burning fuel before making 05 approach. Still has u/c problems - sounds like no u/c has lowered.
