B727-200 nose light; G2/3 nose heavy, but small wheels which would develop flat spot and vibration after just a few landings, however could pack out the rear baggage to max before pax loading.
Had an L1011 leave a half nose axle and wheel at LHR, but landed smoothly at destination on one nose wheel, thanks to Capt Jock Ness and crew.
