The pics (as stated below one of the photos) were from Dec 09. It was a VC10 trail. The gear down ferry was not the trail aircraft, but did follow a similar route back to the UK from Nellis. The gear got stuck in the up lock and after 5 attempts at lowering, controlled yaw, roll and spoiler (for vibration) freed it. I enjoyed 5 days in Vegas waiting for our replacement aircraft
