Please note 'untied' is an anagram of United.

Juan says both tyre and wheel. Must be an American thing. Well I suppose the tyre was with the wheel. Wonder if they refitted it.

Pah! I had one but the wheel fell off!

'Untied' becomes 'undone'. What a disaster they seem to be! https://avherald.com/h?article=51634833

The missing panel was at first identified as a wing to body faring but Simon's picture in his report appears to be gear door.
The door encloses the gear strut and parts of the retraction mechanism while the main gear wheels remain exposed.

Nah! I reckon it's the box where they put all the spare bolts.

Well, if they did the paperwork would have blown out once the panel came off, wouldn't it, so they unfortunately could not produce it.
