There is a story in today's Mail on Sunday about a schoolboy stranded in Abu Dhabi as he has suddenly developed an irrational fear of flying and will not/cannot step on to a plane. His father is now planning on bringing him back to the UK by road
The article says the fear is about the height rather than the plan crashing!
They have no idea where this has come from as he has flown long haul all his life.
Some journey back to the UK by road though!
