Q200 loses wheel at NQY
From a visual report of a qualified aircraft ground operations trainer who witnessed an incident at NQY on 14/12 when one of the MLG wheels departed the a/c on take off. A/c overflew the tower for a visual to determine damage and after a suitable time circling, landed safely.

Pax and 37 SLF evacuated safely with no injuries.
I thought the only PAX airline at NQY that operated anything like that were Air South West, with their Q300s and BE with their Q400s see- http://www.answers.com/newquay%20airport Glad to hear knowone was hurt though.
