Approaches would typically be flown at 60-70kt (111-129km/h) and with a flight path angle of 6-7°.

Mein gott! I'm a trend setter.

Does this mean the UK gets a royalty payment everytime another air force makes a rolling landing ?????

I'm no expert on lashing down aircraft, but I'm pretty good at counting, and I see only four on the front wheel, one on the left rear and none on the right rear. They don't look like chords either, nor cord, for that matter.
