A flight from Cardiff to Dublin had to be abandoned after the plane hit a fox before take-off.

Flybe flight BE4527 left Cardiff Airport at 19:50 GMT on Sunday but returned an hour later for an engineering inspection.

The 111 passengers on board were transferred to an alternative flight which left at 00:11 on Monday morning.

Flybe said the safety of its passengers and crew was its "number one priority" and apologised for any inconvenience.
