Queen Consort’s plane ‘suffered nose damage when it was hit by BIRD’ as she flew home from Indian

A plane known to have the Queen Consort on board suffered massive nose damage when it was hit by a bird strike today as it flew home from India.

The drama in the air is unlikely to have been welcomed by Camilla, who is known for his fear of flying.

British Airways’ Boeing 777-200ER (G-YMMJ) was flying from Bangalore, India, to London Heathrow, when it collided with a bird shortly before 1 p.m. as it approached for landing.

Buckingham Palace has not commented on the incident, but it is believed the Queen Consort was on board returning from a health retreat in the subcontinent.

A photo of the plane after landing showed a huge dent in the nose cone of the plane that houses the weather radar.

Although the damage looks dramatic, jets occasionally hit birds and there was no danger to the plane.

Camilla has publicly admitted her fear of flying and won’t let it stop her from flying around the world.

She is said to have once sat terrified on the steps of a small private jet while visiting a foreign country and refused to board.

On board, she can often be seen squeezing the hand of her husband King Charles as a plane takes off.

Charles, despite being a pilot, has enormous sympathy for her phobia, but during one particularly bumpy flight he heard a loud scream: ‘Honey, please don’t hold me so hard!’

The Queen Consort, 75, is said to have taken a break in India while King Charles continues his royal duties.

She has attended SOUKYA Holistic Health Retreat in Bangalore at least seven times since 2010.

SOUKYA promotes itself as a 30 hectare organic farm, offering yoga and ayuverdic, homeopathic and naturopathic treatments.

The center offers treatments for more than 100 ailments.

There were 8,011 confirmed bird strikes in UK airspace between 2012 and 2016, according to the Civil Aviation Authority
