Air New Zealand say male passenger refused to stop using mobile phone while flight was approaching or over UK and had it removed by in-flight services director, who then alerted captain.
Captain alerted police who met aircraft (ANZ say they often use a remote stand, this was not a special airrangement).
ANZ say police took away man plus about six other witnesses for questioning, all were then let go.
Metropolitan Police version concurs, they say no arrest made.
And, er, that appears to be it...
