Someone i know worked at Heathrow a few years ago and part of his job was to collect items which had fallen off aircraft on takeoff. Mostly small items but he did have a couple of wheels.
In the 80s I was flying from Yakutsk to Moscow with Aeroflot. Now I'm not sure what aeroflot is like now, but they were terrible then. About 30mins into the flight there was raised voices behind, basically a kid was playing with the handle of an emergency door. Ultimately the Stewardess stopped him. My colleague who was Russian spoke with the Stewardess and said he was happy to help if required. She whispered to him, thanks I had to stop him but that emergency door, like the others, hasn't worked for months so it wouldn't open anyway but didn't want to make it obvious. I was telling another colleague about it afterwards and I said she probably had a strange sense of humour. He said doubt it, 99% of life jackets never work on Aeroflot aircraft.
Any landing or takeoff with Aeroflot in those days was fun.....
The worst landing I’ve experienced was in an Aeroflot plane in the mid 90s
The backs of all of the empty seats (and there were a lot of them) slammed forward when he hit the ground, loads of the overheads flipped open with luggage flying everywhere, the lights failed.

And then everyone started clapping. Nuts.
Very brave indeed to get on an Aeroflot plane from that era!
