[Defence Secretary Ben Wallace says
British evacuation efforts in Kabul
have been 'diverted' by bid to
rescue animals cared for
by ex-Royal Marine Pen Farthing]

[Sky News also understands the
animals may still not be able
to leave Afghanistan unless
Mr Farthing's own charter plane arrives.
Mr Wallace said he could not put animals
on an RAF plane for safety reasons.

Mr Farthing's party may also lose out
because they will not be treated as a priority.
He is currently thought to be heading to the airport
where he and his staff have been called
to take part in the evacuation,
and they have been told they can bring their animals.
They face multiple obstacles once there, however.]


https://news.sky.com/story/exclusive...thing-12390679


[The call took place at 4.30pm on Wednesday.]

From GMBHD itv
updated his tweets
Pen & his animals are stuck just outside of the Airport
Taliban blocking him.

He is asking for troops to come and get them?

why are they moaning he is not taking their place as they have their own plane and in fact they can take 160 souls who could not otherwise leave as there have extra space

I could understand if they were forcing their way onto a military plane, some people are plane thick...

Pen needs to drive the Trucks, again
to the airport.
With lots of water for the animals


A Lady and Husband escaped thanks to the Home Office connections
all set up by a Labour MP. (Newsnight HD BBC2)

Pen should get inside the Airport
at least, so he is ready for a plane
But I have a feeling he could give up?


Not sure Why WION HD showed
dogs going in via another entrance and Used Pens Name.
I assume they were going on the "early reports"
that confirmed a 767 plane, but in the end it did not land.
It was a brief report - did not expand.
I was checking every other sources - nothing said Pen got through.


Then he was live on BBCnewsHD after the bombs.
at his home /base in Kabul.

Oh man I hope they're left alone while they're back at the rescue place. Stomach's in knots over him, his team and the animals.

WION HD did have the right data
Pen did get inside the Airport
but he says Biden stopped his mission.


He is now saying they may go via a border.
