The Flying Ashtray
First officer Rob Brydon left his home in south Essex to go to work at Heathrow. He was on the M25 when he heard a news bulletin on the radio informing him that Mount Fujimori had erupted 32km south of the Indian island. [Which Indian island? Name it.]
It was early when Rob arrived at the airport and entered the pilots' lounge and prepared for his flight. Rob and his captain realised that their route would take them over the path of the ash erupting from Mount Fujimori. They came to the conclusion that the ash would clear by the time they were near the mountain.
As Rob walked into the gate he was worried that his decision [What decision? Make it clearer for the reader.] would come back to bite him, but the captain assured him that in the 30 years of service he had been in the same situation numerous times and that it would be fine. Rob and his captain were now on board the plane and had begun their pre-flight checks and were ready for clearance. As usual, Rob was asking for clearance. Rob was unusually busy and didn't have time for this ands his look of the passengers, but he figured that he would take a look once he was cruising in the air.
