Kuwait Airbus lands in Ras Al Khaimah 2am local

Diverted from Dubai, due to NO nose wheel down indication, several touch and goes to RAk, and makes several main wheel touch and goes, then a "positive" main wheel touch down.
Nose gear extends, but all main tyres blown.
Next time landing, no nose gear lock indication. Wheel fires, extinguised by fire crew, and pax off loaded.
The fire crew only qualified yesterday, and on the first shift had a real shout.

Congratulation to the flight deck crew, and the fire crew.

RAK still closed, so I might not go to the Gulf football cup final, stay at pool, less trauma....
