Extract from the Report of PIlot Officer Pprune:
"I made a normal landing and while on the roll-out I moved the stick gently forward to bring the nosewheel into contact with the ground.
"Unfortunately there was a defect on this aircraft in that the nosewheel had been re-fitted at the back.
"I suggest the following addition to the Pilot's Notes : 'Check to ensure that all wheels have been properly located. Adding extra wheels after an incident is not to be regarded as satisfactory.' "

Hoskins, it is a generally well understood principle that the left turn onto final is conducted prior to landing.
