Harry.
BA DC10, ex cally.
Took off from lgw, centre gear overheat warning, which extiguished fairly quickly, continued to Jfk.
Pax decided to take ill mid atlantic, with suspected heart attack.
No need to make a decision for some time, nowhere to go, and after an hour or so, pax not dead, pax not recovered, diverted to gander.
Decided to land/take off centre gear up.
Took off again and was an hour or so late into Jfk.
Landed with centre gear up.
Ground engineers cross because to lower centre gear on ground was difficult, to get the thing to go back to lgw.
Yes, there were different limits.
Eventually, sort of, tea and no biscuits interview but decided hindsight is wonderful thing.
What would you do!!
I saw it as being practical.
