"An RAF pilot landed his plane at Leuchars today BUT FORGOT TO PUT THE WHEELS DOWN. The pilot, Rogers, 38, formerly of Yemen, now Fife said, 'Normally it's one of the things I check before landing. But today I just forgot...'"

"A spokesman said, 'RAF pilots often forget to put the wheels down but sometimes they don't come down anyway. This pilot should be praised as he managed to steer clear of the local school before landing at nearly 700mph WITH THE WHEELS UP.'"

"The co-pilot, who sits in the back seat and isn't actually a pilot, walked away from the wreckage unscathed."
