Pilot left towbar on runway after 'near miss'

PC Anthony Brice, who is leading the investigation, said the towbar could have been from a vehicle travelling ahead of Mr Loates or in the opposite carriageway.

Nottinghamshire Police believe the towbar could have fallen off a long wheel base van or a scrap metal truck.

An aircraft towbar was left on a runway by a pilot who had experienced a "close shave" driving to the airport, an investigators' report said.

The Cessna towbar fell onto the runway departing from London Southend Airport on 7 August.
