There used to be a Viscount operator in UK which had a great variety of 800 models. So, one night a F/O was having his command upgrade at Belfast. The time came for a flapless landing and Murphy's law dictated that this particular aircraft was not fitted with the usual gear warning system.
So it was that the poor chap's check ride culminated in an expensive graunch when the props hit the runway and he slid to an eventual halt with the fire section in close pursuit.
What did make me smile was the report of the aftermath from our Servisair agent.
It seems that the poor chap went into the Servisair office (no mobile phones then) and called his wife.
