You have got to hand it to 411

The thread starts not knowing if the aircraft is a 757 or L1011
If it is Lithuanian or African

Then 411 tells us that it was an L1011 and it aborted take off with a " slight surge" that could have been solved by just reducing power and at 133 KIAS
Not around 130 or around 135 BUT 133 KIAS
I would have thought should details could have only come from the flight crew


Latest news is a temp repair is anticipated and the acft ferried for major repair/replacement of the landing gear assembly.

There was never any intention to ferry !!
The replacment landing gear, jacks and people was on a cargo aircraft bound for Cameroons before your post was sent
