"Following a normal pre-flight check and taxi to the runway for a flight to Rotterdam, the crew had noted that momentarily before rotating during take off a 'shimmy sound' was heard. In the absence of any other indications of a problem, the flight continued to Rotterdam. However after an uneventful landing, it was discovered that the right nose wheel and the outboard section of the right nose wheel axle were missing. The subject wheel, containing the missing section of axle, was subsequently found at Gatwick Airport".
