Independent: Man flies to Germany on girlfriend’s passport...

Man flies to Germany on girlfriend’s passport as airport security fail to spot the difference

A man has flown from London to Germany on an easyJet flight using his girlfriend’s passport – despite her having long blonde hair compared to his short-cut style.

Michael Randall, a McLaren Formula 1 team technician, passed through security checks at Gatwick Airport unhindered and later showed the travel document to cabin crew as he boarded the Airbus plane to Berlin.

He said he had accidentally picked up the wrong ID when he left his home in Staines, Middlesex in the early hours of the morning.

Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
And headed to the airport, for a midnight flight, ya dig?
