:fie:  Don't blame Easyjet! my Perazzi and Chris Turvey's Perazzi and Paul James's Perazzi all came out in the ordinary luggage  for the last 3 years in Schippol airport when shooting the Dutch G.P. the airline was KLM. :hunter:

 

[Iggy]

That's GypsyJet for you.

I hope Easy Jet is not on here.....we have few airlines that fly guns.....no need for a 22 year old kid to sensationalise an experience.

Everyone knows that the handling takes place with the airport handlers and most of those are contracted out.

Jeeeeeeeeze .....human error...or lack of training can make errors. Facts of life.

There is always a horror story.......but......I use them several times a year.....and no problem.

I do wish the Daily Fail would get its facts straight, it's the airport ground handlers who get your luggage from the plane to the baggage claim conveyor belt not the airline, so if any one should be metaphorically shot it should be the baggage handlers.... Tee wats

High Velocity Rifle!  Its just a .22 rimfire small-bore rifle that he shoots.  He just thinks he's it and very arrogant!

 

[Bryn12]

nah, he didn't say 'high velocity' the journalist obviously added it to the story to sex it up. usual appalling journalism.

Thing I don't really like is that the Journo's would not know about it unless someone opens their mouth.

A quick 5 mins of negative fame could be the tipping point for someone like Easy Jet to go the route of Ryan Air....

Doh........!!

 

[HDAV]

Hmmm baggage on a baggage carousel! £11k for a pop gun ??? What is the world coming to?!?!

 

[RobertBeard]

I think he has 2 cartridge rifles and maybe 1 air rifle plus his other kit making a total of £11k.

Only if he actually bought them at Bisley NSRA prices! £6k anywhere else

Shut up Chubby....!! Or no biscuit.

Thing with journalists make sure you record any conversations with the rissoles, be very firm and don't let them put words in your mouth.

 

[westley]

To be fair to the journalist, I think she may have actually been the Sports Reporter, after all she kept making reference to 'Arsenal' !

 

[maddmatt]

I am pretty sure every time my gun goes on an aeroplane it cost £20,000 to replace - well you can't be too careful with one off customised sporting guns  :biggrin:

 

[shootinguru]

:fie:  Yeah! I had a customized Baikal once, till Isaw the light. :crazy:

 

[dashman1]

Happened to me at Malaga airport

It's happened a few times to me in the past. I'm usually travelling with at least one other person. One of us makes a beeline for the luggage carousel to watch for them just in case (geddit) whilst the other susses out where they should officially turn up. It's not the airlines fault but sloppy baggage handlers.
