Only five passengers,

Bluddy right.

Will it be a GV or an Airbus?

I'll do it for no pay.

Seems a waste of fuel taking them all the way.

Too late; they should be at Mildenhall by now. Mind you, there is always the possibility of a mid-Atlantic airdrop.

Been humming a certain John Denver tune all afternoon. Good riddance to rubbish.

Pity we can't send the rest of his rotten family with him;

I don't agree with that song choice. The version by Peter, Paul and Mary is far better IMHO, but is not the right sentiment.

Overall I think some of you are being a bit cruel here. You all need to remember that AH wants to live here, and has set down roots in London. We should treat him as an innocent man, as that is what he is right now. Lets do our best to provide him with dignity while in transit to the USA. I think it would be more appropriate to play traditional English music on the flight, and from a London singer. I think Max Bygraves suits that bill perfectly.

Maybe the Spams will offer him a cameo role in the next incarnation of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'? Concluded by walking the plank over a shark tank.....

Good riddance! They are all now in the US and will be in front of a judge very shortly. Abu Hamza faces 11 charges in the US relating to hostage taking, conspiracy to establish a militant training camp and calling for holy war in Afghanistan..... I suspect he'll get more than a few days of community service when found guilty...

Be very nice to see GIVs and Falcon 900s at Mildenhall on a regular basis!

Gone but ?.

Can we expect his wife & children to be moved out of the UK as well now, as she doesn't hold British citizenship, is drawing almost £1400 per WEEK on benefits & also lives in a huge house at taxpayers expense now that Cpt Hook will be on his way to the USA, wonder if the Americans will offer her somewhere to live (think not !) will wait & see, but guess trying to remove her will infringe her civil liberties or be seen as racism. PH.

Just hope he arrives safely. Imagine the conspiracy theories if his plane went down!

He did indeed arrive safely. Which is a shame.

Bet right now he's wishing he'd accepted the extradition to Jordan.

He called the UK a "toilet" I bet this morning he feels like the chain has been well and truly pulled...

Wonder how you handcuff someone without a hand..
