Must have bent some props surely! Looked as if the climb out was a little laboured. It could have turned ugly and it might have been safer to just accept the wheels up landing. I guess they did manage to get it back OK.

:ok: thanks. Lucky guy indeed.

It would need both engines to be overhauled as well, hitting the props on the deck would have shock-loaded both of them. They would have been better to have kept it down and not go round again.
Very lucky escape indeed !
