lets hope its not on a flight to/from T5

Odds on

That wouldn't be good press if they lost the flame.

dpb

It could be on the way back via Rome

I can see the headlines now "Olympic plane goes up in flames"
As some idiot forgets to put the flame out first lol

Some poor sod waiting all holiday for their luggage is about to receive a box with an unlit torch in it lol

That's after it's spent the night in it's own hotel room..

whats it going to do ? order a BK flamer for it's dinner, and settle back and watch Inferno.. lets just hope he doesn't do sambuca shots!!

i Thought the whole idea was to carry the flame from greece by relay runners without it ever going out?

little-ginge

Going out as in to the cinema or pub, or going out as in extinguishing?

It arrived by an Air China flight today, and has it's own hotel room for tonight (apparently!).. tomorrow it will go on a 31 mile journey from Wembley ending up at the Millenium Dome...and then it will go to paris

....CARBON FOOTPRINT!!..

FFS.. we can't drive our cars because we're allegedly planet killing.. but they can fly a bloody stupid torch all around the globe.
