Northwest 747: Nose gear test: satisfactory. 😳 Fascinating picture at0:57: Aeroflot Tu-134 (must have been a special flight as they didn't usually operate into Gatwick did they?), with Virgin Viscount in the background?! 🤨
@expoboy52 pins apparently did not lock the gear. No damage flew out after checks took a few weeks. It was 1987, and it was weird to see it slowly sink to the ground.

Great days they were.
What's with the Northwest 747? Poor load planning?
