Apparently on the telly the other night was a dog and a cat scuba diving. I
begin to wonder at some peoples sanity, but they were Americans.

Not much to gain from just the sound track though. Sounds like a spanner
inside a combined harvester.

That is the sound track of a microlight flight. The pilot was a bit
sloppy on the pre-flight and failed to notice a cat sleeping inside the
wing. Shortly after take-off it sticks its head out of the end of the
wing, which is above head height, and the pilot spots it. He then lands
and the cat runs away unharmed.

"i still don't know if it got in after the pre flight check or if i missed it.
The cat is doing well, she is still our mascot."

(Though the French does say "de l'importance de regarder dans les ailes avant
chaque vol".)

They showed the clip on NewsNight yesterday. ;-)

If looking inside the open wing isn't in the check list, it certainly
should be. Any open cavity needs to be checked for wildlife that might
have taken up residence.

But they can't do that with lorries or airplanes. People can't hide where the wheels retract to by any chance ;-)

How do you get it out if it doesn't want to get out?

If you can't you don't fly the aircraft.

Sound of a fridge door opening, sound of a tin opening, shaking a box or packet of their favourite biscuits, smells, my flatmate clucked like a chicken and her cat came running from almost nowwhere, there's plenty of ways to a cats brain ;-)

Some years ago a friend of mine had a Tiger Moth which he kept in a
barn on a farm and flew from the adjacent field. Having not flown for
a few weeks one weekend he took the aircraft for a local area flight.
He was enjoying the solitude and freedom of being alone in the sky
when suddenly he felt something climbing up his leg.

Having recovered from the ensuing spin, cardiac arrest and finished
screaming he looked down to find 3 very small kittens looking up at
him and one using his leg as a ladder. He landed with minimal use of
rudder (the kittens were around that area) and taxied back to the barn
to find a very cross ginger farm cat with a mouse in its mouth wanting
to know why her offspring had been catnapped. The aircraft had to
stay grounded until she decided they could look after themselves.

My new cat (had it two months) is unphased by tuna. Turned it's nose up at
it and went over to the dish with Aldi food in it. It also turned down
Whiskas cat food. I would probably be able to tempt him out with a laser
pointer

My great aunt who was about as edwardian as it was possible to be, used
to feed her cat only the finest fresh coley (pollock) cooked in milk.

I remember this because the fishmonger tried selling her coley instead
of cod for herself. "Pah - coley! That's only fit for the cat..."

On a light aircraft, you are looking for birds or rodents nesting, not
humans trying to evade security.

you'd thought a simple IR camera could detect people in the hold.. or boxes etc...

It would need to be authorised for use in a commercial aircraft; a
process that is likely to cost a million or two.

Sure, but there aren't enough stupid enough to do that
to warrant doing that and wear the inevitable false alarms.
