Is it safe to fly with a Tunnock's Teacake? Tests carried out 60 years after ban.
Scientists have carried out tests to see if it is safe to fly with a Tunnock’s Teacake, 60 years after they were banned by the RAF.
The ban was put in place when a packet of teacakes exploded during a flight in 1965, leaving the pilot, controls and windows covered in marshmallow and chocolate.
