A plane that was about to take off turned around to pick up a girl and her father who almost missed the flight. Adrian Insley and his daughter initially failed to board the TUI plane to East Midlands Airport from Tenerife after misplacing her passport.
They had lost the passport at the airport. Adrian, 38, and his daughter had no choice but to stay behind while his partner, their other three children and his parents boarded the flight.
When Adrian eventually found the missing passport he was convinced he and his daughter would have to find a later flight because the plane had already left the gate. To their amazement, though, the pilot turned the plane around to pick them up so they could fly home with the rest of their family as planned.
