GV/PAN: EXTERIOR OF DEPARTURES BUILDING AT HEATHROW AIRPORT 0.07 2. AV: LONG AERIAL VIEW OF AIRCRAFT TAKING OFF FROM RUNWAY 0.26 3. MCU: SOUNDBITE (English) CAPTAIN CHRIS HODGKINSON OF THE GUILD OF PILOTS AND NAVIGATORS SAYING: "I think it is the good news and the bad news. The good news is that - yes - it will give, if you like, an added level of security. But, in general, I think most people would prefer there to be no guns loaded guns at all on any aeroplane. The belief of most aviation professionals is that security should be effective enough so that it really stops at the aircraft's side - i.e. you prevent either people or bombs or whatever getting on to the aircraft in the first place." 0.57 4.
