I am still trying to figure out how lucking out in the loo constitutes endangering an aircraft. :confused:

"are said to have hurled abuse at BA cabin crew."
"Fitzgerald denies being drunk on a jet. "
"both from Luton"*

Sounds like there might have been a bit more to it that just MHC.

Now was this how they were found or what the crew did once they caught them...
"Both were handcuffed and Blake was also put in leg restraints. " :p

Trevor Blake, 42, and his 26-year-old girlfriend Nicola Fitzgerald

Good on Trevor.

It sounds like a serious case of Post coitum animo triste, as the Romans put it. :D

But Trevor did get back up with his 26-year-old girlfriend Nicola to Jamaica after making bail. ;)

I just hope the EU constitution-in-waiting provides for chiropractic care after such an arrest!

Such activity does not endanger an aircraft. But think of the children. :rolleyes:

If you're really thinking about the children, start checking the British tabloids nine months from now for a headline something like Sky-Sex Parents Name Lav Love Baby Loo Loo. :D

Mile high couple admit jet fracas
By JAMES MILLS

From the moment they boarded the plane, Trevor Blake and Nicola Fitzgerald had one thing on their mind.

They drank a few glasses of wine to calm their nerves and then disappeared into a lavatory cubicle together as flight BA2263 made its way across the Atlantic to Jamaica.


After a few minutes they returned to their seats, red-faced and giggling, with their fellow passengers apparently none the wiser.

For many couples, joining the mile-high club would have been enough for one flight. But, fortified by more wine, the couple returned to the cubicle 90 minutes later.


This time, however, they were not so discreet and complaints were made to the cabin crew.


Other passengers on the Boeing 777 complained that the couple were being rowdy and were makining too much noise during the inflight movie.


Later Blake, 44, threw balls of scrunched up paper at the stewardesses and flew into a rage when he was refused more alcohol.


It is claimed he became so abusive and aggressive that he had to be handcuffed while the pilot diverted the flight to Bermuda. His girlfriend Fitzgerald, 28, became hysterical and was also handcuffed.


Fifteen police officers were waiting at Bermuda and the couple were put on a flight back to Gatwick where they were charged. Undeterred, they later boarded another flight to Jamaica where they got engaged.


Yesterday the couple appeared before a crown court judge in Brighton where Blake admitted affray and Fitzgerald admitted being drunk on an aircraft.

Crime of passion okay... crime of drunken beligerence is a no-no
