BRUCE DICKINSON Saves The Day For Stranded Brits

Monsters And Critics.com (people.monstersandcritics.com) has issued the following report:

Son of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, IRON MAIDEN singer and licensed pilot BRUCE DICKINSON has airlifted 200 British citizens back to the UK yesterday from war-torn Lebanon.

Renaissance rocker Dickinson, 47, flew a Boeing 757 to the island of Cyprus where he picked up the UK nationals and flew them to Gatwick Airport.

According to All Music Guide, “he was the most acclaimed and instantly recognizable vocalist to emerge from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the early-'80s.”

Dickinson made his recording debut with Iron Maiden on their Number Of The Beast album in 1982.

Dickinson quit Iron Maiden in 1993 but rejoined the band in 1999.

According to his biography on Wikipedia, “his other interests include literature, writing, expert fencing, train technology and flying the Boeing 757 charter jets for the UK charter airline Astraeus where he is employed as First Officer. He was taught to fly by British Airways commercial pilot Captain Phil Dales.”

An unnamed colleague tells the wire service WENN, "He was only too keen to get involved and help. He has a strong interest in the welfare of people caught up in international conflicts and cares about what is going on."

That's pretty cool, I knew he flew those charter planes but I didn't realise he was acutlaly all that serious about it - thought it was a bit more like John Travolta's association with QANTAS. Good on him.

bruce could have saved mine day if they skipped Trivium as opener on their coming europe tour :)


I was thinking about doing Bruce Air this year but it crashed with my exams, would be cool to have him as a captain once. I think also that Bruce have done stuff like this before.
