According to a report,
Rowan Atkinson, the British comedy actor best known for his role as the
accident-prone Mr. Bean, grabbed control of his small aircraft after the pilot
fainted in the sky above Kenya. According to the Spectator magazine, Mr.
Atkinson, 46, who does not know how to fly, kept the plane carrying his wife
and two children on a stable track until the pilot regained consciousness.
During a family vacation
in Kenya, the actor leased the Cessna 202 plane. According to the Spectator, he
and his family were being transported from Ukundu, a resort near Mombassa, to
Nairobi's Wilson airport. The management agency
for Mr. Atkinson refused to comment. According to the
magazine, after the pilot went out at a height of 16,000 feet, the Cessna began
to lurch from side to side and the nose sank rapidly, according to sources at
the airport and friends of Mr. Atkinson. Mr. Atkinson and his wife allegedly
attempted, but failed, to resuscitate the guy. Mr. Atkinson took over the
controls and kept the plane flying until the pilot regained consciousness,
returned the controls, and landed the plane. According to the Spectator, after
reporting the incident, the actor and his family boarded a British Airways
aircraft from Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta Airport to London.
