Life can be dull, with little to make one laugh. And then along comes a little vignette that restores one's faith in the existence of a God with a GSOH. This thread has done just that.

Inadvertant selection? (pure speculation btw)
Ever flown a fast military machine?

We tend not to do that.
Summary:

During the latter stages of the landing roll, whilst completing the after landing checklist, the pilot inadvertently selected the landing gear to up which resulted in the retraction of the nose and left main landing gear.
The last quote is from the AAIB report, and of course everyone's read it. But isn't it wonderful, seen together?
