Wonder if they had anything "big" landing on 34 that night...
An instructor and student were doing night circuits at Cape Town International. On the final circuit the student neglected to lower the gear and this was not observed by the instructor. The aircraft did a wheels up landing on Runway 01/19 - the main runway. The aircraft was only salvaged some time after 23:00. During this time traffic landed on Runway 34.
