Golf Hotel Whiskey: for pilots and aviation enthusiasts

Gatwick passengers have been warned…

When we were taxiing to our gate after a BA flight from NCL-LGW, the captain thanked the passengers for flying BA and that he hoped we’d fly with them again, you know the usual stuff. Then he proceeded to warn us:

If you’re leaving Gatwick by car, please be aware of Police speed cameras which are plentiful at the moment, If you are caught speeding by one of these cameras you will be liable to a £100.00 fine, and for that you could fly with us to Venice or many other beautiful European cities!

(Allegedly overheard on a flight some years ago, hence why the indicated fine is only £100.00 and the airline is not Ryanair!)
