In the mid 90s BA brought 2 back from Cuba for Christmas. One dropped out on the approach to 08R at LGW on the 24th Dec. The other was not found on the turnaround, and fell on to the runway from 150 feet after takeoff the following day, when the nose doors opened for gear retraction. This has led to the "spotters" at the threshold at Cuban airfields.
