Flying low level in this machine posed some problems....as over time it grew tiresome.

(Beat me to it Buster!)

In THIS machine, you don't kick the tyres, they kick you.

In this aircraft, it would be better to light the tyres and kick the fires!

"We've had more than a few glitches like this since we left the EU and weverted to Imperial measurements. It's a wheel problem."

It's almost a Michelin impossible, but I want you to do a Pirelli on the runway at Yokohama. If you do that then you'll have a Goodyear Mr. Cooper

MoD's beancounters delivered substantial savings by overcoming the costly necessity of teaching Army Aviation's FAC's to actually fly.
