READERS have reacted after a council meeting heard a man was splattered with human faeces while in his garden after a plane overhead dumped its toilet.

The resident told Councillor Karen Davies that human waste was dropped as the plane passed overhead in Windsor in July.

Speaking to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's aviation forum, she described how the man – who has not been named – was “splattered in a very unpleasant way”.

She said: She said: "I know a number of incidents happen every year with frozen sewage from planes, but this wasn't frozen and his whole garden was splattered in a very unpleasant way.

"He was out in the garden at the time, so a really horrible, horrible experience."

She added: "Hopefully it never happens again to any of our residents."

Vivien Hamilton said: “His roses will be fantastic.”

Carole Mcgerty said: “Oh no ‘poo happens’.”

David Staniland said: “Will help his flowers grow.”

Josh Hampton said: “"He will have to take it on the chin" what a statement hahaha I think he already did.”

Mark Goodsir said: “Aerofloater.”

Rus Edgar said: “Pretty sure they can't dump during flight as it’s the modern sceptic tanks now that get emptied at the airport, so it must be rubbish or a faulty tank that's leaked.”

John Bowden, the councillor for Eton and Castle - covering Windsor Castle - called the incident a 'one in a billion chance'.

He suggested the 'warm weather meant the excrement could have come out as a more fluidy item'.

Whitfield parish councillor Geoff Paxton, who has worked at airports for 40 years, said what happened was 'very rare' and one he had not seen in a long time.

Cllr Davies said the resident had decided not to pursue an insurance claim.
