[mhm]

Bournemouth Airport has been closed after a plane's nose wheel collapsed on landing.

The aircraft, a vintage De Havilland Sea Vixen jet, blocked the runway after landing at 16:10 BST.

Eyewitness Simon Birt said he could see the plane "sitting on the intersection of the taxiways surrounded by emergency vehicles".

The pilot was not injured. No commercial flights at the airport were scheduled before 22:00 BST.
