The number of bird strike incidents at Britain's airports has nearly doubled with three ''significant hits'' a week, according to the Civil Aviation Authority.

I would have thought it would be more, when you compare a Comet to an A380, the size of the engine air intakes is 10-20 time bigger... You should be hovering up 10 times more. (and the number of flights/day has increased significantly.)

Hope those Canada Geese tasted good....
