A British Airways flight was forced to return to Heathrow after "a loud bang" was heard by residents on the flight path in Kent.
The Boeing 747 - flight number BA107 - turned around shortly after taking off for its journey to Dubai.
Tony Southgate, who lives near Halstead, tweeted that the noise the aircraft made was "loud and long".
"It was loud enough to cause my dog to panic and made me look outside," he added.
The plane circled over Kent for a short while before landing back at the airport in west London.
A BA spokeswoman said: "The aircraft landed safely back at Heathrow after a technical problem.
"We're sorry for the delay to our customers' journey. They will soon be on another aircraft and on their way to Dubai."
It was reported that the crew had a problem retracting the aircraft's undercarriage.
One of the passengers, James Dempsey, tweeted: "Just had a lovely 1hr flight from Heathrow to Heathrow on board the new style BA 747-400 with fixed landing gear."
He said that he had not heard the bang on board and there appeared to be "no issue other than gear wouldn't retract".
