Gear was pinned and as a result could not be retracted. Airplane was topped off with fuel prior to departure and landed overweight driving the gear throught the wing.
GIV's and GV's do not have fuel dumping. There are procedures for making over weight landings however. It woulda taken a real hard landing to drive the gear through the wing, even when overweight.
