Fox News (radio) just reported that (traces) Polonium 210 had been found on two aircraft. Polonium 105 is half-amused by this news.

per Reuters these were short haul flights - not international
Beware Reuters use of the words short haul. These 767's are not being used just within the UK. Currently, one of the three is sitting in Moscow. Good luck getting a good search there.

Scientists have found traces of radiation on two British Airways planes tested as part of the investigation into the death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. British Airways said in a statement: "British Airways has been advised that three of its Boeing 767 short haul aircraft have been identified by the UK government as part of the investigation into the death of Alexander Litvinenko.
"The airline was contacted last night (Tuesday, November 28) by the government. It has taken the

three B767s out of service to enable forensic examination to be carried out.
"The initial results of the forensic tests, which was confirmed late this afternoon, has shown very low traces of a radioactive substance onboard two of the three aircraft.
"British Airways has been advised that this investigation is confined solely to these three B767 aircraft, which will remain out of service until further notice."

Was just thinking what the conversation and decision-making process was to attempt a plutonium transfer to London. LOL!
