A potential disaster was avoided after pilots on the tarmac alerted the Virgin pilot that one of the front wheels had fallen off and told him to take the plane back to the terminal.
Another piece of outstanding aviation journalism. Where do they get these journos??

Sure lucky there were some sensible pilots down there on the tarmac to tell the poor Virgin dude to go back to the termnal otherwise he may have thought taking off with one nosewheel was okay.
