Would that be the one where the pilot set the undercarriage switch to up during the roll, with the intention of retracting the gear as soon as the oleo squat switch operated? However this was a MkX and the pilot was used to flying the more powerful MkY, in the subsequent sinking of the aircraft following gear retraction and the consequent role change to twin engine sledge, the ventral tanks split and disgorged their contents. Of course the engines were in reheat and soon ignited the trail of avtur, the pilot voted to stay on board and headed skywards setting course to the Dogger Bank for an approach and full stop landing.
Those tanks only hold so much fuel and with a short time they were empty, the pilot then voted not to go to Dogger Bank but return to Base where he made an uneventful landing. The actual damage was minimal, requiring replacement of the ventral tanks, the landing parachute pod and a deflated ego.
The aircraft spent 6 months in sick bay before returning to service.
Has anyone heard the story….not me guv!
