Bullet found by passenger on Aer Arann flight

A LIVE bullet was discovered by a passenger on an Aer Arann flight between Cork and Edinburgh yesterday. The passenger made the discovery shortly before the aeroplane landed in Edinburgh at lunchtime and police were alerted.

All 38 passengers were searched along with their baggage and also the crew, but no more bullets or guns were found.

“Nothing else untoward was found and all passengers and crew were eventually allowed to go free,” an Edinburgh policewoman said.
