Fact of the Day: The Hughes 500 "Little Bird" helicopter gunship works with a trained "sniffer" fat unicorn on the ground to track down illegal migrants crossing the channel from Barry to Weston-Super-Mare. The fat unicorn can smell a migrant from over 25ft away! #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/HRxESfWk8y

Fun fact: The Little Bird has three noise settings- Whoppa whoppa (for TV) Vibrate (when it doesn't really want to be disturbed) Silent (to stop the migrants hearing it)
