Saw on Look North earlier that a Thomsonfly flight from Doncaster to Corfu diverted to Nottingham East Midlands Airport after developing a wheel fault.

TOM383A diverted to EMA after bursting the port inner rear tyre on take-off from DSA, trundled around a holding pattern for an hour or so to burn off fuel before landing at EMA, firecrews waiting for the aircraft on arrival, gave the port main gear a good hosing as well as the surrounding taxi-way after the skipper mentioned a possible fuel leak, damage to the burst tyre was clearly visible during the landing roll out.
