Indianajon Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 Recently during a low level sortie in the excelllent V for Victory campaign I had my hydraulics shot out. On return to base I was able to drop the gear but not lock it. I tried shaking the aircraft and a few other odds a sods but to no avail. Unsurprisingly on touching down it collapsed and I came to an embarrassing stop in a shower of sparks. So my question is if there is an emergency way of locking the gear down such as in the Tomcat? I have had a brief look through the manual but couldn't find anything obvious. Thanks I'm advance.

Here's an excerpt from Chuck's Mosquito's guide on emergency gear operation: null 1
