A British Airways pilot out of work due to the coronavirus pandemic has got a new job as a Tesco delivery driver.

Peter Login, who is used to flying passengers around the world in a 747, has been saluted for his temporary change of career as a key worker dropping groceries off to customers in lockdown during the crisis.

He tweeted to say his BA keys had been ‘hung up for a while’, but he is ‘back in the cockpit’ with the supermarket, adding a joke on the airline’s motto ‘To Fly To Serve’ with the hashtag ‘#ToDriveToServe’.

Peter’s partner Marianne Whiston used to work for Thomas Cook as cabin crew but has now joined the NHS at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals Foundation Trust.

 
Where's the autopilot button on this damn thing?
 
At least he’s used to separation from the folk he’s serving. He’ll have to get used to not having a girl at every stopover, mind...
