Apparently a Wizz A320 has done a partial gear up landing at fiumicino this morning as reported here:

I'm surprised by the very strange attitude of the aircraft, especially that slide at the R1 door

Seems it's A320 HA-LWM.

Hmmmmm looks like the infamous MLG Door actuator....remember easyJet a couple of years ago.
