Well another score for Bournemouth International then - no such issues here.
Have seen a few land with uncertain gear condition, had one myself (on CPL skills test! No extension on PFL, got 3 greens in the end). ATC are always helpful to emergency aircraft with inspections, lots of reassuring chat, calling operator if advice needed, and allowing the pilot to choose when to approach. Also helpful to other aircraft training in the area, warning them and letting them land first if the emergency PIC doesn't mind, just in case he fouls the runway (important for mine - the other aircraft was a Vampire, not overladen with fuel!).
Only seen one "expected" gear-up, he had one main unlocked which collapsed. A couple of accidental. All cleared up in under an hour.
Is Bournemouth the most GA-friendly International Airport around? Bigger than Southampton and twice as cheerful
