A340missing middle Landing gear

[js51672]

Hi.
Looking at JP.net
I found a picture of a Lufthansa A340 with missing the middle main landing gear.

What's that?

Is that allowed?

According to the text below the picture it seems to be allowed with weightrestriction.

True, possible there are problems with the center gear and by leaving him up combined with the weight restrictions the operations can resume as normal; otherwise the plane can be out for quite some time

This center gear issue also appeared on a SU MD-11F (early 2008 while visiting AMS for maintenance)

Adios, H.
