Returning refreshed from a week in the sunshine, mercifully without any emergency landings, we heard today about one flight forced into an emergency landing, not due to technical faults or anything so potentially catastrophic, but due to excessive flatulence on the part of the passengers. In this case however the passengers were goats – 2600 of ’em! It seems that sensors mistook the gaseous emissions from the goats as smoke, triggering alarms in the cockpit. Maybe an idea to be careful what you eat before your next flight.

A couple of weeks ago, Margaret Mills told us about some riotous behaviour in the STEEPLE BUMPSTEAD of the 1860’s and today Margaret provided us with a follow-up story. Listen again to what Margaret reported today by clicking on the link below: –

See you again next week,
