A little incident at Manchester (EGCC) on the 22nd which exercised the
airport fire service.
The crew were aware that something was amiss prior to finals as the fire
crews were out a time before touchdown (which appeared to be perfectly
normal). I presume there was some cockpit indication (temp, pressure, or
something).
Picture 1 shows what appears to be smoke or fumes eminating from the left
undercarraige but thankfully no flames or sign of radiant heat and once
inspected the aircraft continued under its own power to the terminal
buildings.
