Thumbs up No(se) Wheel

Many years ago, taxying out at AMS, the aircraft ahead of us (73-200 IIRC) lost a nosewheel turning on to line up for immediate T/O. I called the tower and eventually (after what seemed a very long time) the aircraft came to a stop.

Some months later I received a parcel from the airline concerned, containing a letter of thanks and a DIY model kit of the aircraft. One of my boys built the model and – guess what – the nose wheel fell off!
