Pilot: Ken Lawson. Things were going great until the wheels came down. A grubscrew came out of one retract so it was left dangling in mid air.

  • Brilliant filming and perfect timing to catch this emergency landing event at the end of the clip given that it was all taken with an "iPod touch".

    A Low Level Fly-by confirmed the suspicion that there was something very wrong with the left (port) main gear. It was barely hanging on to the wing. The pilot did a very nice "textbook landing" and held the wing off the ground till the very end. Congratulations.

    A very happy outcome.................. :-)
