Anyone got any idea what failed?

Have been informed one of the main body gear tilt actuators failed...as in sheared off the oleo. Good to know QF don't overhaul their gears anymore......interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember the 743 in Rome a few years ago???????????????Ouch!!!!!!!!!!
Confirmed. Body landing gear tilt actuator sheared. Rather unusual i'd say.....
