So these things still occur in threes ...
There's no obvious connection between the two prior events, other than the fact that they involved the same aircraft.

The June 2016 incident was a return to Heathrow following failure of the landing gear to fully retract (not specifically the NLG). The problem was resolved in time for the aircraft to return to service later the same day.

The October 2016 event is the subject of a current AAIB investigation and involved the NLG torque link detaching during the landing rollout, resulting in the aircraft being AOG at Manchester for several days.

I suspect that the Havarikommissionen investigation won't find much in common with either of the above events.
