The explosion removed the starboard gear.
(The recently late) Pat Manley used to tell us that their Loadmaster (or Crew Chief) was in the habit of taking post at the open starboard (paratroop) side door whenever their aircraft was manoeuvring on the ground.
On this unique occasion, for some inexplicable reason ‘known only to god’ he 'decided' to join the chaps on the flight deck, thus saving himself from a face full of landmine and probably saving his life too.
I wonder if that Loadie (or Crew Chief) is around still ?
