It certainly looks like the gear is down, contrary to Coatesy's spin on the events, (Coatesy should hire a PR spin expert of you want to change the story ref your pilot) even when the CCTV fottage is enhanced, and from the still footage of the heli burning on its side it certainly looks like its down, if he only took off a few short moments before, why would he bother to pull the gear up

The pilot is a very nice individual, and as good a pilot as anyone, however if a mistake was made on the day, we are all prone to making bad judgements and most times only ourselves will ever know,
We do however need to support our friend and fellow pilot in times like this, The one who thinks they will never make a mistake or misjudgement will themselves be the next to do so
