Flights resume 2 days after Jill`s death | |||||||||
Just 2 days after Jill Phipps was crushed to death, and on the first day of the inquest(at Coventry Magistrates Court) into her death, live exports resumed from Coventry Airport! Over 100 protesters descended on the airport when they learnt veal trucks had arrived. Jill`s father Bob and sister Lesley joined over 20 others running onto the airfield in an attempt to stop the plane taking off. Later in the afternoon, another plane load of calves was due to depart when Justin Timson, Jill`s partner, chained himself to the wheels of the aircraft. The 3 were amongst 40 arrested during the days protests. |
