These posts show that wheel problems are easier to handle than skids!
Once had to land a 76 with the nose wheel up on 2 piles of sugar sacks without much problem.
In Borneo a Wessex Mk 1 smashed his left oleo on a heavy landing and bounced back into the air. The Wessex was hovered for about 5 hours with refuels in the hover and changes of pilots while they waited for another Wessex to come back so that they could remove his left oleo.
All good fun.
