I looked at the plane and immediately knew it was not a good day to be my underwear………….the airline was called Comm Air and where normally you would have big powerful jet engines there were two little ceiling fans stuck to the wing.

It was only 8 am and in the darkness of the Finnish morning and as the rain lashed down it made the plane look smaller and more foreboding.
