A British Airways pilot, Captain Colin Glover, 51 has been suspended by the Airline company— Captain Colin Glover, 51, was removed from flying duties after bosses were alerted to a series of lewd images seemingly shot in a Boeing 777 on a long-haul flight.
Read the Sun full report:
“They reveal a pervy airman in stockings taking lurid selfies of his aroused manhood.
One image shows a leg sprawled over the dashboard while the plane appears to be on autopilot and with the co-pilot’s seat empty.
In another, an airman spreads his stocking-clad legs over the joystick while revealing himself.
A further sordid snap shows the man with his genitals exposed in a cabin’s toilet.
Other images show a pornographic magazine spread on the controls and explicit playing cards scattered around the cockpit.
Serial numbers on the control panel suggest the pictures were taken aboard at least two separate British Airways planes.
The airline confirmed yesterday it was probing the images — and whether they were taken feet from passengers mid-flight.
BA said: “We are taking these allegations extremely seriously.”
Twice-married dad Glover — a BA Captain since 1990 — is thought to have denied to bosses the pictures are of him. But he is likely to be permanently grounded if they disagree.
A senior airline source said investigators would examine whether the images could have been shot in a flight simulator.
One of the serial numbers visible — GYMMB — is used on BA’s simulators. But it is also registered to a twin-engine Boeing.
The other — GVIIL — is also one of the 777 fleet used by BA.
Airline expert Chris Yates said yesterday: “This is very dangerous if the plane is in mid-flight.
“If you are flying, you can fly into serious turbulence.”
