  2. Nose gear bay viewed from nose gear leg, looking forward.
  3. Nose gear bay, looking up and towards rear end of bay.
  4. Similar view, but lower down showing top of gear leg - looking aft towards rear end of bay.
  5. Nose gear and door, viewed from aft, looking forward.
  6. Really a shot of a Fairey Fireflash missile, but also shows port aspect of the nose gear leg and wheel.

PORT MAIN GEAR

  1. Port main gear, viewed from inboard, looking outboard.
  2. Port main gear leg mounting and rear of bay, looking aft and outboard. Lowered flap at bottom of picture.
  3. Port main gear bay and inner door, looking starboard. Note bulge in the door.

STARBOARD MAIN GEAR

  1. Starboard main gear, looking at top of leg and bay. As with nose gear, this area is sprayed silver.
  2. Starboard main gear bay and inner door, looking to port. The bay here is not sprayed silver entirely; traces of what was presumably the original finish remain (PRU blue?).
