No, was def a DC8-63. I know it was before October 1973 because that's when I started with the carrier concerned. I'm pretty sure it was no earlier than 1968.

I have the vague recollection that the MLG on 1 side (STB?) had a partial failure - I think hydraulic seals went. Was repaired on temp basis & then flown back-to-base on special dispenation, low-level unpressurised "just in case".

I've tried all the usual searches but come up with zip.

ah well, as I say, it looks like one of those things that is too old to be in online records and not serious enough to be included in the usual sites..

We did have a 55F that flew sideways ...
