Flybe flight grounded by bee on Southampton to Dublin journey
A plane operated by airline Flybe was forced to turn back after a bee became stuck in one of its instruments.
Passengers on flight BE384 from Southampton to Dublin faced a two-hour delay after the journey was abandoned shortly after take-off on Saturday.
Noel Rooney, who was on board, described the insect's appearance on one of the aptly-named firm's aircraft as "unbeelievable".
The company said engineers found the bee lodged in an outside instrument.
