I remember G-AWWZ at STN. Crew Training, pulled CB14 Ldg Gear Warning Horn for Flapless Landing, first thing they knew that the gear wasn't down was the fact that they were lower down than usual when they touched terra firma and then the scraping 'noise'.
When the a/c was put on the inflatable recovery bags and gear slected down, the gear cam down, and locked. After a survey and temp repairs, it was flown to BOH for permanent repairs.

Hiya Tin how's things? The Spey may have had a 'mighty roar, but the expression 'toothless tiger' when fitted to the 1-11 springs to mind.

It was a horrible a/c to work on, and from my perspective it was a heap of junk, but built like a brick blockhouse.
