Unusual cargo
Just watched 'Look North' and it reported that 13 lions arrived today from a Romanian zoo for the Yorkshire Wildlife Park just down the road. Equipment was a Jet2 passenger plane with the seats taken out. It was G-CELY 733 from Budapest (they were taken by road there).
The air traffic controller said he arranged a long slow descent from over Holland so the lions' ears didn't hurt.
