Another tragic accident was narrowly avoided yesterday when a new vodka fuelled snow plough driver took off in his flying snow plough in front of a plane carrying Ukranian VIPs. It turned out that the snow plough, flown by an ex-alcoholic ex-pilot, had actually been cleared to take off from runway Yeltzin.
Sir Boris Johnstone, the Mayor of London had been visiting Moscow airport to advise on snow clearing methods and the curbing of alcohol related snow plough misunderstandings. He told our snow clearance mishap team yesterday, "The new flying ploughs give off vodka fumes from their ethanol fuelled engines and it often appears that the snow plough drivers are inebriated from the vodka smell and zig zag patterns that the ploughs have to take.
