after the front inner tyre burst on take-off

(pax photo of said front tyre)

I'm glad to see that the Q400 is now classed as a taildragger

WorkingHard. These were 2 different aeroplanes flying 2 different routes.

Miss Walters and her boyfriend Matthew Hill heard the tyre burst after take-off and were able to take a photo from their window
Unless Holland has grown some interesting scenery recently, I assume the Flybe machine flew back with the wheels down. Weren't they lucky having a journo on board.

Canadian manufacturer Bombardier was unavailable for comment on Thursday's incident.
