Neither am I an accident investigator, just a regular line-pig who once got his lucky break in that glorious place, SWA/Namibia. But I do still have contact with some engineers in Windhoek who very definately are. I will make some enquiries, this is an interesting question.

Might be a quicker way:
There was a notorious go-around performed in Eros by R.K. on his V5-KIN, before he sold it. (210) He clipped the tips before he realised he was missing something, and went around to successfully put the gear down and land! No idea which way the tips were bent, though, anybody? This was on 01, i.e. tarmac. Come on you ex-118.7 controllers, now in Germany and the U.A.E., any idea?

To the other gentleman: I don't think anybody's screaming 'hero'. I think most on here are simply very pleased to hear that there haven't been any more fatalities. There have been too many down there, recently.
