The aircraft had undergone work related to defect rectification on the evening of 13 April. One of the
defects worked upon involved the removal and replacement of the right inner mainwheel. On the
following day the aircraft took off, at 1143 hrs, on a positioning flight to Aberdeen. Soon after takeoff
an object was seen to fall from the aircraft. It was subsequently confirmed that the object was the right inner mainwheel. Fuel was burned off, and the aircraft then landed back at Norwich at 1405 hrs,
without further incident. The aircraft was removed from the runway to a hangar and jacked for
inspection. The detached wheel was recovered for examination. Apart from the separation of the
wheel, there was no other damage to the aircraft.
