I remember looking in the Dom Flt diary in the crew room: back in the 70's or late 60's, "M" had a belly landing. 'Sicknote' had one go off the runway in the early 90's when a drinks carton jammed the tiller as the gear was extended (it rotated slightly as the nose gear deployed) - no damage as I recall, bit of a 'gotcha'.
The Viper is far more bird-resistant and throttle-variable for low-level than the Garrett's on other RAF 125's. You just had to shove gobs of Esso 3880 into in on arrival at Gatow, before happy-hour...
