That was G-VSKY back in November 1997. I know that one because it was the incident that started my interest in aviation failures, how pilots deal with them (I seem to remember the pilot re-wrote the manual shortly before landing and did a good job) and all the forensics that take place to deduce the cause.

The reason it attracted my attention was that I was on the aircraft on its trip to LAX, woke up the next morning to hear about its antics on the return flight.

I also seem to remember a bunch of landings at Manchester without the regulation number of wheels.
