I did post in the Monarch thread at the time, but to repeat some of it with a up date.
My brother was on this flight,the flight had just crossed the English cost when it diverted to Gatwick (see playback on flight radar 24). After landing at Gatwick,
the police came on board and removed the accused person. His friends were spoken to but allowed to remain on the flight.
A coded message was announced over the p.a. system, to alert the crew of the nature of the emergency.
The person removed from the flight has been charged with endangering an aircraft,(which I believe carries a maximum term of 5 years in jail), and will appear in court
on June 15.
Lets hope the full force of the law is shown.
