Thumbs up Gear Problem

I can confirm that A EU Jet did have a problem today at Manston on a flight from Gatwick, the aircraft was empty with 7 crew on board. The starboard main gear was showing as not being fully extended after several low level fly by's.
The captain carried out the standard manouver of touch n go landing twice to try to lock the fauly gear, on the second attempt it was sucsessful and the aircraft landed saftley.

Hope the captain gets a pat on the back.

Glad all was OK
