He stated that he radioed an unknown aircraft flying behind him and requested him to visually observe the condition of the landing gear. The pilot of the unknown aircraft acknowledged that only two landing gear were visible and requested that the pilot of the affected aircraft turn base to final approach for a better visual perspective to observe the gear. The pilot stated that after he turned left base to final, he was told by the pilot of the unknown aircraft that all three gear were down.
