The Titan Airways plane stopped carrying members of the Royal family and government last month and re-entered private service for wealthy clients.

Crew noticed an “excessive cabin noise” as the plane hit about 10,000ft in its climb.
Aborting the trip, they turned back to Stansted where they found “three windows were missing and loose”.
