Dozens of passengers faced delays today after a Spitfire crashed on a runway of one of Britain's biggest airports.
Six arrivals, including flights from Scotland and Tenerife, were diverted to Birmingham airport.
"The runway is shut and flights are suspended because of where the plane has come to rest," he said.
"All inbound flights have been diverted and outbound flights have been suspended, but we are expecting to be operational within two hours."




... and this comment is classic ...

It was too early to say whether the accident had any bearing on the airworthiness of the other vintage aircraft.



Bit of a worry these doddery old codgers in their vintage aircraft puttering around our airports.
Well it is the telegraph what were you expecting
