Schoolboy Gets Stuck in Abu Dhabi For 18 Months Because of Fear of Flying, But Finally Lands in Britain After Being Hypnotised On The Plane
A British schoolboy who was trapped in Abu Dhabi because of his acute fear of flying touched down in Britain today – after being hypnotised on the plane. Joe Thompson, now 12, had been due to fly back to Britain with his family last June after his father's work contract ended. But his acute fear of travel, including by boat or car, that developed in March 2012 meant he was unable to make the 4,500-mile journey back to Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
