Always fun reading these threads with the ex-air force types who have limited understanding of the commercial aspect of things ie the airline is actually here to make money. VS the ex GA types who have worked for a bunch of operators who went broke and therefore try to balance commercial and safety.

Bringing up the VC10 is interesting but as a percentage of tyre failures on the T/O roll what are the chances of that happening. The LH 340 centre gear tyre failure and associated hyd failure also makes good reading but statistically IMHO chances of secondary failure are slim.
