Did they ever explain what the issue with the landing gear was?
Somebody must have noticed it had disappeared into the fuselage after takeoff.
Nothing as of yet.
“Eyewitnesses reported the jet was flying at relatively low altitude and the pilot appeared to be trying to “shake” the landing gear down.
Nick Hughes, who was on board, said the crew made several attempts to try to free the landing gear.
“They put the thrust on quite heavily and then dipped down, I think, to try and loosen the gears but obviously nothing kind of worked.
