Drunk' pilot arrested at Heathrow moments before he was due to fly to India

A pilot said to be smelling of alcohol was arrested in the cockpit of his plane by armed police just minutes before take-off at Heathrow.

The plane, which had 300 passengers on board, was about to begin a nine-hour flight to Mumbai when airport staff told security they feared Michael Harr had drunk too much to fly.

The 62-year-old was marched off the Jet Airways flight by police and failed a breath test at 9.30am.

Mr Harr, a former U.S. marine, was first officer on the Boeing 777 flight on Sunday.
