Thanks Blackdog, I had seen that before although I think you're right that airshows these days do give a bit of a skewed perpective. It was just interesting that both wheels start at almost the same time, both reach about three quaters of the way at almost the same time, but then the right carries on whilst the left goes so slow it's barely noticable it's even moving. It almost does seem then that the left wheel seems to eat all the hydrolic power at that point.
I suppose it might have something to do with the power needed to close the bay doors as the left wheel does slow down some at that point, although keeps moving much faster than the right, almost like some power is being drained to hold the right in place whilst the left finishes retracting and then the left retracts so slowly afterwards because of drag coupled with the lost momentum making it difficult to get movement restarted.
On the other hand, I just came up with all that off the top of my head and don't really know a whole lot about these things, so it could be totally wrong, but it makes sense in my mind
