ATS tyres usually take an hour to get to you when us trucked call them out! Soon be on your way. Lol :D

Great confusing reporting again. Was it from AMS to MAN, or in fact MAN to AMS?

One wheel on my wagon
And we're still rolling on
Those DHCs are meant to please
And I'm still singing this song.

"We looked out of the window and could see the tyre of the plane had burst," he said.
"It hadn't gone back up into the undercarriage. We called over one of the cabin crew who couldn't believe it. She informed the captain who made an announcement"
At least he told the Cabin crew of a potential problem but I rather suspect that the gear having not been raised would suggest that the flight deck all ready knew what had happend.
