Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Must've been hubby no. 3 Ned Rocknroll & their son Bear Blaze Winslet. They met when she was staying on Necker Island in the Caribbean a guest of his uncle Sir Richard Branson. During their stay the house caught fire & Kate apparently carried SRB's mother out of the burning house. Obviously sparks of another kind flew also.....wonder if the kid's middle name is courtesy of that event?

Just googled Ned and yes, it was him. She actually sat near me and I smiled at her and the kid (who was crawling around a fair bit) a couple of times over a 10 minute period before I recognised her - and only after a teenager a short distance away kept looking at her in that classic 'wow, it's someone famous, but try to be understated' way.
 
A while back, I was at the Melbourne QF lounge (used to travel a lot for work). Noticed an Asian guy getting himself some juice, and peered at him while trying to look like I wasn't looking, was that Luke Nguyen? As I peered, I noticed someone laughing at me... well that was Adriano Zumbo, laughing at me surreptitiously peering at his companion, who was indeed Luke Nguyen. Huh!

Geoffrey eddelston and his fibreglass fiancée on QF93 today.

I've never seen QF staff swoon and make such a fuss before.

We were unceremoniously shoved out of the way at F checkin and again at the lounge. Poor form QF

Plastic not fibreglass.
at least GE does not have to remind anyone DYKWHI
 
You can't have that much plastic without fibreglass reinforcement. In fact the more I look at her the more she looks like a catamaran.
