I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

TL, thanks, we had in incident at Luqa in the 60s too. Landed, starboard main, IIRC, jammed, tyre worn to rim, and rim worn down too. We dug a deep gouge in their brand new runway. They said the captain must have had his foot on the brake because of rudder application in the cross wind. Wrong foot so it wasn't feet on pedals.

Wheel was so worn that we could not get the boggie Jack on. Then we found they only had two main jacks (or Jack heads) on the island. We finished up with the port wing tip practically on the ground.
