Found a photo of the damaged u/c leg.

This was an incident involving Hazelton Air Shorts SD3-30-60 VH-MJH on the 19/05/1990, before the third Runway was operational.

The port main undercarriage wheel came off, and from memory the aircraft was blocking the intersection of Bravo 10 and Runway 16R.

It was a former Pan Am aircraft operating under United at the time, Pan Am exited the pacific in April 85.

On another note for those with airside access, is there still a plaque on 16R for AAV? "Car2 Ground Request"

Not sure what you are saying here Mark!

Well aware that Pan Am exited the Pacific in 1985. This incident happen prior to that date.

Hi Noel

That accident happened when the aircraft was flying for United, 23 May 86 in fact

Well I will be buggered. Mark, my apologies, I would have bet a small fortune that it happened before United took over the route. Have to dig out my old diaries.

At the time I was driving across the apron near T/W golf and stopped and waited for the a/c to turn off T/W delta and could see that things didn't look right with the outer port undercarriage. Could see wisps of smoke and oil on the tyres. By the time I was able to get onto SYD ground and they did a visual, it had turned off golf and onto the southern ITB apron where it was stopped by QF ground engineers.

Thanks also for the link.

If my memory serves me correctly, wasn't there two main undercarriage through the wing incidents at Sydney Airport - maybe the second incident was with another airline.

JAL had one try and go through the wing probably 15 years ago from a hard landing on Rwy 16R.

JAL was 2005 and was on pushback for departure, metal fatigue was blamed.

I noted someone talking about the "big one", this is probably the closest we got:
