Perhaps Wally got more than just free wine....
 
<b>33,000 BA passengers alerted over radiation</b>

<i>British Airways is trying to contact all 33,000 passengers who may have been exposed to radioactive traces that were found on two of its planes.

Thousands of BA passengers were caught in the radiation scare last night after traces of a substance, thought to be the same that killed the former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, were found on the planes.</i>

No 747's or 777's were involved. It was a Boeing 767. I did fly on that one a few years ago on my way to Moscow.

Real cute, AAFF

'Scuse me for not laughing.

I checked the dates for the 767s that are being examined by BA (European setup, not CW) and determined they're not going back far enough to cause concern for some CE trips she and I made earlier this year. Just the past 5 weeks.

Better check just to make sure he's ok. Somebody pass Wally a sample cup to fill up.

<b>Gardyloo</b>,

I do realize that the actual paxs are not laughing and I made that point clear on the other Wally thread and I'm making it here as well, but I just couldn't resist making that headline for our friend Wally.
