The County Times' latest story on former pilot Tristan Loraine's concerns appeared last week informing the public about a documentary that is due to be shown at Horsham's Capitol Theatre on Monday (March 31).

Mr Loraine's hard-hitting airline industry documentary, 'Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines', seeks to uncover the truth behind allegations that air supplies contain toxic, unfiltered fumes from jet engines.

The Storrington born former airline pilot spent 19 years as a commercial pilot and says his own health has been damaged by fumes, rendering him unable to fly.

For the past seven years he has researched the subject, and has also written a novel, 'Toxic Airlines', published in April 2007 (reported at the time by the County Times), which addresses the same issue.

Plans are also afoot to turn the book into a movie, with a script already written and finance currently being sought.

Cabin air is drawn from the engines of aircraft and is unfiltered, and in the 93-minute documentary, Loraine investigates the possibility that serious health and safety risks are caused by neurotoxins, carcinogens and other hazardous chemicals that can leak from engines.

The film will be aired at the Capitol in North Street on March 31 (2.30 and 8pm), and there will also be a question and answer session after the 8pm screening with Mr Loraine on the same day.
