I can confirm the Teesside incident, the aircraft was out of service for less than 2 weeks! We always said that the 1-11 was hewn from the solid. The u/c warning horn went of at 180kts which was below the flapless approach speed.

IIRC the aircraft concerned was G-AVMO the example at East Fortune, so it has lasted longer than most.
