The aircraft was departing from Runway 27 at Jersey when, as the aircraft rotated, the commander noticed the nose baggage bay door OPEN warning light was illuminated. He decided to continue the take-off but, at around 200 ft, the commander saw the door open. He requested an immediate return to the airfield, and flew a u2018teardrop' pattern to land on Runway 04. During the turnback, whilst over the sea, the baggage bay door separated from the aircraft. The commander continued the approach and the aircraft landed safely.
