Terrifying pictures show huge damage to front of Airbus which was hit by a bird strike after taking off from Spanish airport
An Airbus plane has been grounded after suffering massive damage as it was hit by a bird while taking off from a Spanish airport. This afternoon Iberia Flight IB579 was forced to land back in Madrid after it was reportedly struck by a large bird during takeoff. Photos from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, the main air travel hub for Spain 's capital, showed the radome, the plane's nose, had suffered severe damage. The material at the front had fallen away from the plane, an Airbus A321-253NY that was meant to fly to Paris. In one photo, the offending bird that apparently cause the strike was seen in one of the plane's jets. Data from FlightRadar24 showed the plane made a short loop above the area surrounding Madrid before landing back at the airport. It landed just over an hour after it took off. The Daily Mail has contacted Iberia for comment. It is the latest in a series of setbacks to the aviation industry this week after major airports - including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham - were forced to suspend flights with thousands of passengers left stuck on the tarmac. A technical issue suffered at the NATS Swanwick air traffic control centre grounded all London flights, sparking travel chaos. Passengers heading off on their summer holidays took to social media to vent their frustration, with some posting pictures from grounded plane windows or telling the Daily Mail they had been rediverted to Brussels. NATS said the issue was resolved but knock-delays will continue, with passengers advised to check with their airline. A statement read: 'Our engineers have now restored the system that was affected this afternoon. 'We are in the process of resuming normal operations in the London area. We continue to work closely with airline and airport customers to minimise disruption.' Departures across all airports have now resumed, NATS said, however the backlog of flights is expected to cause delays across the country for the next few hours. 'Our systems are fully operational and air traffic capacity is returning to normal,' it added. 'We are working with affected airlines and airports to clear the backlog safely.' RyanAir's chief operating officer Neal McMahon called on NATS' chief executive Martin Rolfe to resign following the chaos - which marks the second time in two years the air traffic controller has seen a major outage. More than 700,000 passengers suffered disruption when flights were grounded at UK airports on August 28 2023 when NATS suffered a technical glitch while processing a flight plan. Mr McMahon said: 'It is outrageous that passengers are once again being hit with delays and disruption due to Martin Rolfe's continued mismanagement of Nats. 'Yet another ATC system failure has resulted in the closure of UK airspace meaning thousands of passengers' travel plans have been disrupted. 'It is clear that no lessons have been learnt since the Aug 2023 Nats system outage, and passengers continue to suffer as a result of Martin Rolfe's incompetence. 'If Nats CEO Martin Rolfe fails to resign on the back of this latest Nats system outage that has disrupted thousands of passengers yet again, then UK transport minister Heidi Alexander must act without delay to remove Martin Rolfe and deliver urgent reform of Nats' shambolic ATC service, so that airlines and passengers are no longer forced to endure these preventable delays caused by persistent Nats failures.' One person on X reported a Heathrow bound flight was flying around Ben Nevis while unable to land safely. Meanwhile, passenger Jane Ainsworth told the Daily Mail her flight from Kos back to Birmingham has been forced to land in Brussels. Another frustrated flyer reported 'going nowhere' as they sat inside an airplane on the runway for more than 40 minutes. 'Going nowhere as no departures from @HeathrowAirport for the last 40 minutes. Apparently 'the radar isn't working'. @British_Airways crew being fab,' they wrote. A Heathrow spokesperson said: 'Flights at Heathrow have resumed following a technical issue at the NATS Swanwick air traffic control centre. We are advising passengers to check with their airline before travelling. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.' Gatwick Airport said on Wednesday afternoon that technical issues caused a complete halt to departures while the situation was being resolved. 'A technical issue impacting Nats is affecting all outbound flights across the UK,' the airport said on X. 'There are currently no departures from London Gatwick while the situation is being resolved. 'We are working with Nats to resume flights as quickly as possible. Inbound flights are still landing at the airport.

ICG takes off with £200m deal for Exeter and Bournemouth airports
The London-listed investment group ICG is closing in on a £200m deal to buy three of Britain's biggest regional airports. Sky News has learnt that ICG is expected to sign a formal agreement to buy Bournemouth, Exeter and Norwich airports later this month. The trio of sites collectively serve just over 2 million passengers annually. ICG is buying the airports from Rigby Group, a privately owned conglomerate which has interests in the hotels, software and technology sectors. Exeter acted as the hub for Flybe, the regional carrier which collapsed in the aftermath of the pandemic. The deal will come amid a frenzy of activity involving Britain's major airports as infrastructure investors seek to exploit a recovery in their valuations. AviAlliance, which is owned by the Canadian pension fund PSP Investments, agreed to buy the parent company of Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton airports for £1.55bn last year. London City Airport's shareholder base has just been shaken up with a deal which saw Australia's Macquarie take a large stake. French investor Ardian has increased its investment in Heathrow Airport as the UK's biggest aviation hub proposes an expansion that will cost tens of billions of pounds.

Newport couple celebrate 60 years of marriage with party
Beth and Bill Scadden originally met as children at St Julian's School in Newport and went on to become high school sweethearts. They married on August 3, 1965, at Malpas Church in Newport, in a ceremony led by Vicar Pontin. Over the years, the couple have built a close-knit family, raising four children—John, 60, Helen, 57, David, 41, and Catherine, 40—and welcoming eight grandchildren. Bill and Beth Scadden in 2025 (Image: Supplied) Daughter Catherine, reflecting on their parents' journey, said: "My mum and dad were sweethearts who met at St Julian's School. "My dad went on to become an orthopaedic surgeon and joined the British Navy. "They travelled the world until my dad decided to move to South Africa, Durban, in the 1970s and took up a position at Addington Hospital. "They created a happy family life with beloved pets including snakes, rats, fish, chameleons, and a bird or two." Although their children eventually moved abroad to pursue their own opportunities, the couple kept their Newport roots alive. She said: "They never failed to share the many stories and traditions of Newport, Wales. "My dad's favourite meal was Welsh rarebit and Welsh cakes." Beth's father, Len Marsden Gill, was a retired police sergeant who served with Newport Borough Police and was a commando during the Second World War. Bill and Beth Scadden, taken on their wedding day (Image: Supplied) He later moved to South Africa to live with the family and remained with them until his death. The Scaddens spent 60 years filled with 'adventures, laughs, and giggles through the highs and lows.' They even owned a Cessna plane and held pilot licences, flying along the Durban coast so Mr Scadden could visit patients. When asked about the secret to a long and happy marriage, Mrs Scadden said: "Lots of love and patience, tolerance, and a sense of humour through the highs and lows. "Living in Africa is not for sissies and life is way too short to hold a grudge." The family will gather on the Isle of Wight to celebrate the couple's 60th anniversary with a party.
