Wind shear was reported in one of the links you posted Alicatt. Also one can see the starboard wing tip is on the ground and the engine is not attached to the wing.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Not seen that, but I did read this: Passengers on board said the pilot told them there was a problem with the landing gear and that he would be making an emergency landing, according to Indian media reports. From the Yahoo link in the first post, the text in the article linked there has changed a few times since I first posted it.

Well, I don't know where the audio is captured from. Perhaps the tower and planes are a lot closer or better equipped to get the signal a lot better.
When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

At least they had enough time to evacuate everyone before that wing exploded.

Is it possible the crew forgot to lower the landing gear? There is an unconfirmed report the tower had to remind the crew to lower the gear on approach. The gear is clearly not deployed in the photos I've seen and I've not heard of any delays while the crew tried to troubleshoot a gear problem while in flight. Certainly wouldn't be the first time for such a mishap. http://teamspeed.com/forums/aviation/58328-b1-b-gear-up-landing-oops-pics.html

Is it possible the crew forgot to lower the landing gear? Not really, there's a few systems in place to make it very clear that the gear isn't down for landing. The radar altimeter yelling at you and the flaps in the landing position are two of those.
