The pilot is happy too as he has his own personal oxygen mask which will come in extremely handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not much out there Paul and it gets even worse once they get to PNG. The natives there might find a plane load of rotund Germans very tasty.

Just reading the Bournemouth Echo and everything shut in the area. People stuck on trains overnight between Southampton and Bournemouth as well as the A31 being blocked for hours and many people suck in their cars. Everyone stay safe over there.

OZx's Cape Don International Airport in the Northern Territory. If it would take long to get back to Germany, why not say longer in Oz?
