Campaigners attempt to disrupt jet

Smartly-dressed climate change campaigners attempted to disrupt private jet flights at an airport by locking themselves to an aircraft.

Plane Stupid said the five activists donned pin-stripe suits and bowler hats before attaching themselves to the wheel of the business jet at London City Airport.

The group said they broke through the site’s perimeter fence to protest at the "selfishness of private jet use".
