I was nowhere near, that's for sure. But I may be getting slightly confused here. Mr Oleo Strut mentioned a VC10 landing with the nose gear retracted on a foam carpet on the North runway, but from some of the responses I deduced that this may well have been 707-436 G-APFP on 31/3/1967.
You mentioned a Ghana Airways VC10 landing with its brakes set. That's another one that's new to me, but could it be that we're getting these two confused or was there also a VC10 that landed without an extended nosegear?
