I remember a BOAC Boeing 707 having nose gear retraction problems - base training at Stansted was it? It returned for a nose gear up landing on 28R. There had been a history of stiff nosewheel steering on this aircraft. Having jacked it up, dropped the nosewheel and towed it off to Tech Block A, detailed investigation found that something had been installed incorrectly on a recent maintenance check.
