BOAC,
I am sure everything will be revealed in time through the boxes, but that's not why I'm here.
Can you solve the "puzzle"?

Not convinced it is a "solve", but I think you are assuming the wheels were down. I am not sure we have any evidence if they were or not, but your argument may in fact suggest that they weren't.
I have no idea why they wouldn't be down, but then this wasn't a normal approach and landing, otherwise we wouldn't be here.
