On her last ever visit to Scotland. The pilot deliberately kept her nose up throughout the landing, as shortly before hand they had been unable to extend the nose gear fully. Various steps were used in an effort to extend it, including heavy yaw movement through the rudder, which was, at the time, horrific to watch. The crew at one stage were contemplating putting her into the sea. Thankfully, they managed to extend the nosewheel fully and it did hold. She flew back to her base at Doncaster the next day, with undercarriage extended the whole flight.
