Sparrow holds up Speedbird
I understand from clients that their flight last night BA633 ATH-LHR was delayed 2 hours to catch a sparrow on the flight deck which had apparently gained entry at LHR on the way out. True or false?
I am not sure that I would have delayed for this. I appreciate that it could be distracting if it stared fluttering about at a critical stage of flight. Breadcrumbs laced with brandy on the jump seat could have sedated it.
Anyway, it was a pretty speedy bird on the way out.
