I'm in SFO later this week as well, maybe I'll run into him there, if it's meant to be.

I watched London Has Fallen on one of my last flights and I realised that it was close to being the worst film I have ever seen. Not only was the geography of London way off, it required you to not suspend belief but dangle it from a large space flight capable balloon and release it. There were so many plot holes and things that they did to allow the story to progress and actually have a film that I wished I'd watched something (anything!) else instead. He looks like a very capable actor but in those films he's fighting bad plots even before any of the bad guys turn up.

I've been asked a few times for autographs and "selfies", the last time was about 2 months ago in T5 lounge. I've no idea of who exactly they thought I was, I just signed and posed.

Flame away but I dislike this sort of sycophantic behaviour from BA. I understand it for some people. But he's a B list actor, not a politician/security risk, why does he need to board the plane last after everyone else? That's the sort of thing that would cheese me off if I was an F pax, no doubt ignored while they all fawn over Mr Butler.

UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon on today's BA216 flying in from a NATO meeting in Washington.
He was reading the Daily Mail on the shuttle to Arrivals and showed a page to his advisor and said "BoJo is getting hammered."

Pursh, thank you for identifying Mr. Fallon. I recognised the face but couldn't put a name to it. He was travelling Club World and was met at LHR by two armed police at the gate who escorted him through immigration. Doc Copper
