A Dundee to London flight was forced to loop back to the city just minutes after take-off.
The 6.55am Loganair service left Dundee for Heathrow just after 7.15am on Monday.
Data from Flightradar24 showed the plane only travelled to the south of Perthshire before turning and heading back towards Dundee.
It then looped over the city and flew along the Carse of Gowrie before turning back towards Dundee for a second time and landing.

A spokesperson for Loganair said: “We can confirm Flight LM621 from Dundee to London Heathrow made a precautionary return to Dundee this morning due to a technical issue.
“The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is of the utmost importance to us at Loganair.
“We are working to resolve the issue and arrange onward travel for customers to allow them to get to their destinations as soon as possible.
“We thank our customers for their patience and understanding.”
The return flight from Heathrow – due into Dundee at 11.45am – and flights to and from Kirkwall on Monday afternoon have also been cancelled.
