The first I heard of this was on teletext, where the headline was “Two planes collide on runway” Had visions of another Tenerife. Tossers.

How strange, was on my way to John Lewis and took a detour past the airport, on the road up to the airport hotel I spotted the two offending aircraft then whilst at the traffic lights at the top of shadow moss road an A320 did a go around, again thinking nothing off it. I must of just missed the prang.
