Texan ZM324 "Anglesey (VYT)80" which departed @ 1115z suffered an u/c problem whilst setting up for a repeated SRA/Talkdown to rwy13. Cancelled approach and upgraded to a PAN with an Emergency SQK. Repositioned over the bay to sth of airfield for a while (1155z). Performed a couple of low passes on a parallel track just Nth of rwy 13 (Tower flybys) for a gear check @ 1210z/1215z. Was going to land after initial flyby but did a go round @ 1212z as no u/c lights seen from the Twr. Landed safely @ 1221z. Possible main u/c door problem? [Nothing obviously wrong in terms of u/c leg positions seen during Twr flybys]. Aircraft not seen on fltline for rest of week. Guess on incident.
PS flying again on Weds 4/12 am as "Rocket2" (ZM327 "Rocket1).

XX337/CO "Pirate 23" overshoots/T&gs and depart RTB @ 1126z.

Cheers
