Crawley Observer reports that IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson piloted one of the planes that rescued XL holidaymakers stranded abroad, passengers arriving at Gatwick Airport have said.
Marc Cryer, who flew in on a specially-chartered Monarch Airlines
flight from Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on Saturday morning said he knew
the musician was also a trained pilot but was still surprised to see
him onboard the flight.
He said: "I think I was about the only person on the plane that recognized him."
Dickinson, a trained Boeing 757 pilot, is known to have been employed by the UK charter airline Astraeus, although the company's website states it is not currently operating.
