The wheels on the Scout were attached by three (?) pins. In Ireland they were removed daily for flight as their weight (20+ pounds each) combined with the floor armour was excessive. I suspect that they would be flown wheels off in the Falklands.
On one ocasion an attempt was made to bomb the Jacobs biscuit factory close to Long Kesh when a wheel had its pins removed but was left on the skid. It landed in Jacobs car park. We had to ask for it back.
On a second occasion an aircraft returned with a "bullet hole" in the stabiliser. However it became apparent that a jacking handle was a perfect fit for the damage and one was missing from the rack in the hangar. It had been left on the engine deck.
Happy days with a fine aircraft.
