Reports that a plane narrowly missed crashing on take-off at Nottingham East Midlands Airport were unfounded, an air safety investigation has decided.

The Civil Aviation Authority said the MP was given "inaccurate" information.
The CAA studied radar tapes and spoke to air traffic controllers during their investigation.
