The wheel is not perfectly sealed. Two lids help streamline the aircraft during flight. I spose the wheel fell off inside the enclosure and when they opened up the landing gear it fell out completley on approach into Sydney so I wonder where the wheel ended up?, maybe on someone's head?. Ahh, don't worry because Rex has a spare Saab sitting at WGA so there's plenty of parts here.
