Not only a Mirage chappy but a couple of DCA pilots in a government HS125 at Laverton (I think) managed to pull it up real quick after landing.

Story goes that they were doing circuits when a Mirage wanted to depart which necessitated rigging catch netting at the end of the runway. Said HS125 does a go around to facilitate the departure and retracts the Dunlops. The rest is just embarrassment as the check list wasn't started from scratch but where the last one had been left off.

For those too young to remember, DCA was the esteemed precursor of CASA but when they had some real toys to play with.
