**Plane-load of 400 lobsters**

Four hundred Hebridean lobsters facing certain death were given a brief reprieve
when the plane taking them to France to become lobster pot, bisque, and quadrille
was forced to make an emergency landing behind Wormwood Scrubs prison in the west
London yesterday. The lobsters were _en route _from the Outer Hebridges in Scotland
to Le Touquet in northern France when the Cessna 206 light aircraft transporting
them developed engine trouble. The Danish pilot, 46-year-old Mr. Carsten Petersen,
managed to guide the plane down on the land 200 yards from the Scrubs. Mr. Petersen,
who lives in County Offaly in the Irish Republic, had made earlier abortive attempts
to land on Clapham Common or Battersea Park in south London.

A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said Mr. Petersen had radioed the, saying his plane
was suffering from severe bivrating and he needed to make a speedy landing. The 
airport was put on emergency alert but in the end, he was forced to put it down 
in London. It seems he found some open space and had a very lucky escape. The pilot
and his cargo emerged unscathed.

‘The lobsters are sick of flying,’ said Mr. Petersen before dashing off to sell 
his cargo at Billingsgate fish market before it died of natural causes. ‘If you 
go into a good London restaurant, you might get one.’

Mr. Petersen hoped his crippled aircraft would be hauled away this morning. Scotland
Yard confirmed that the plane and its lobster cargo were being treated as an emergency
landing and no charges will be brought. Residents who live around the prison are
more used to breakout dramas than forced landings.

One commented: ‘Why don’t they give the lobsters to the prisoners?’
