Lost mobile delays flight

Sun-seekers were stranded at an airport for four hours — because a pilot lost his mobile phone in the cockpit.

Engineers dismantled sections of the cockpit to search under the floor — without success.

A spokesman said: “The aircraft could not take off until the phone was recovered as it was still switched on.

“Phones have to be switched off during a flight for safety reasons.”

But,but,but,but,but. If the phone was switched on, why didn't they just call the phone to locate it?
