It's a tea party on the tarmac with first U.K. flight arrival

The British are coming on the first transatlantic scheduled flight to land in Hamilton in almost 20 years.
flyglobespan.com, Britain's fastest growing airline, begins service connecting Hamilton to 13 British destinations today.
The first load of passengers -- from Doncaster/Sheffield airport -- lands in Hamilton at 4:20 p.m. Two flights to Britain will depart this evening.
Stephen Elmy, Canadian manager for the Edinburgh-based carrier, says all three inaugural flights are full.
flyglobespan flies from Britain to various locations in Europe.
Hamilton airport plans a "fire truck welcome," spraying water jets over the top of the first plane.
