Mr Farthing added he was the only person on the flight but he was told there was "enough capacity" to get the remaining people in the airport out."Americans, the British, had obviously stopped taking people in because there had to be a point where they stopped taking people in.Dr Iain McGill, was a vet on the plane back to the UK with Mr Farthing.
