As always I reserve my God given right to be wrong.
And BOY do I ever avail myself of that!

Valin,
There are a bunch of still shots located here of recovery. Notice in many cases the Sparrowhawks had their landing gear removed after proving the concept was feasible. I've seen movies as well of this, but didn't find any links on the web. Enjoy.

P.S. Note the logo of the "Fat Man on the Trapeze" (airship) catching the "Skinny Man" (Sparrowhawks).
