Any Pics? I've only found some aerial shots of it in the Toll hanger.

Please forgive my mechanical ignorance but I thought that landing equipment would not need much impetus to actually fall down by gravity once "the pin is pulled."
Would the crew on board be able to manually "pull a pin" to get the gear to come down? |

I believe the Metro 3/SA227-AC (not sure about other models, such as the SA227-AT in this accident) does have an emergency gear extension lever that can be operated at 150KIAS to free-fall the gear into place..
