Watched a Victor land at Boscombe Down with the park brake set. All tyres shredded spectacularly.
The Victor gear was such a neat fit in the wells that there had to be a method of stopping wheel spin. To achieve this the designers fitted the park brake selector to cover the gear up selector forcing the crew to apply park brake before up selection. The ineviatble happened.
Doing a few touch and goes involving some braking before the go again on an 11,000 feet runway the pilot started the gear retraction sequence only to change his mind about the retraction having already applied the park brake. Result - lots of loss of face and rubber!!
Cannot recall how the problem was rectified.
