Seems there have been quite a few of those Dart failures. At my outfit, we had one in the early eighties, as far as I can recall the low speed impeller on the left engine disintegrated as the gear was being retracted, the left gear stopped about 2/3 of the way up and was stuck that way. Both the nose gear and right main gear fully retracted which is proably what saved the aircraft. The forward part of the engine and propeller tilted forward at an angle and was really hanging on by a thread. Aircraft landed safely.
I never liked the Fokker F27. Everything that possibly could break/fail did,
electrics and pneumatics were crap.
