FLIGHT TO HOLLAND
LABELLED AS LIVESTOCK A London resident, Mr William Edwards, who wanted to pay an urgent visit to his fiancee, was flown to Amsterdam as livestock. He found all the passenger machines at Croydon booked out, but a freighter aeroplane was on the point of starting. As this machine was prohibited from carrying passengers, Mr Edwards had himself labeled and placed! in a box,and was consigned as “livestock, with care.” The fare worked out at one-third of the normal passenger rate. An official of the International Freight Company stated that it cannot make a habit of thus obliging people, as the company is not licensed to carry human beings, even as livestock.
