It departed from Rome's Ciampino airport with the Pope, about 30 senior Vatican officials and dozens of journalists on board, bound for Edinburgh.

It's OK, it's flown by a regular Alitalia crew rather than some of Ratzinger's trusties.

Just after takeoff: `Ladies, Gentleman and Pope: we are expecting a very rough ride today. Cabin crew please remain seated.'
