Hi Dan,
She's being lovingly restored to her former serviceable state by the CBFS VA engineers at Heathrow. She'll be ready for service again in tree (
) days time.

Just as a matter of interest, in real life most main undercarriages have a vertical speed limit of 10fps, or 600 feet/minute, and the consequences after that are very serious indeed - see eg the Mandarin DC 10 crash at Hong Kong in about 1999 where total catastrophe resulted from landing( in a typhoon) without flaring , at a vertical rate of about 800fpm .

something just came into mind....mostly for David.
As you know I lost engine 1 on my return flight to EGLL, due to need of maintenance (FlyNET introduced)....and I couldn't restart it, I guess that's the ways it is. BUT when I came in for a landing, flared and all, I instinctively hit reverse trust and although the engine light was on (engine off) it seemed as if the reverse trust was applied all the same??? at least the reverse trust indicator lit up.....
