A plane bound for Inverness from Belfast has been forced to crash land following a problem with the front wheel.

Flybe BE331 took off from the same airport, just after 11am this morning, bound for Dalcross.

However once the issue with the nose became apparent, the flight was then forced to burn off fuel in a holding pattern before an emergency landing with its front wheel up.

52 passengers and four crew were on board. One person has been taken to hospital with a minor injury.

Several pictures on social media from flight enthusiasts show the plane being towed away off the Belfast runway pitched forward.
