Luftwaffe landing gear
#8

Safety wires, right. I was an Aircraft Mechanic some moons ago. Still in use today, in fact its not just for break lock up. Those tires hit the pavement not rotating and will match the aircraft's speed in Milli seconds.

The tire "Bead" is not supposed to slip, if it does someone needs to change it out. The rubber is trashed. Oh inspect the rim as well....
