Delta 767 EGCC 09/12/06 Gear Trouble?
I was on the departure end of runway 1 at about 12:30pm Saturday 9th an EGCC and saw a Delta 767 depart and not retract its left MLG. It appeared to climb fairly slowly (I estimated to about 5000ft) and make a right hand turn to fly back toward the airfield.
I watched it for as long as I could I'd guess 7-8 mins and in all that time I never did see that left gear go away, but neither did I hear anything of it, or see it return to the airfield.
Can anyone shed any light on what happened, or where it went?
What are the SOPs (obviously they differ airline to airline) for this sort of problem?
Regards,
