A monitor 11, suitable for detecting a tire operating parameter such as pressure or temperature, comprising a sensor 12, held on a resiliently radially-biased ring 15 with spaced ends 16a, 16b, surrounded by a 14 housing that may be formed of a resiliently flexible material, such as a rubber or thermoplastic elastomer. The monitor 11 may also comprise a wireless communication interface (21, Fig. 6) for transmitting data from the sensor 12 to an external device; and a power supply (18, Fig. 6), such as a battery, for powering the sensor 12. The monitor 11 may further have a processor (19, Fig. 6) for recording data from the sensor 12 in a memory (20, Fig. 6); and a time source (22, Fig. 6) for time-stamping data stored in the memory (20, Fig. 6). Also provided is an aircraft (Fig. 1) with a wheel assembly (7, Fig. 1) and the tyre monitor 11.
