A plane loaded with 68 tonnes of disposable gloves, masks and visors has arrived at Heathrow and is already on its way to the frontline.

The flight packed with personal protective equipment from China landed at the airport in west London on Saturday afternoon. It had been chartered by global freight forwarders Far Logistics after orders were placed by multiple suppliers with manufacturers in Asia. Managing director Louis Phillips, based in Felixstowe, said the first discussion about bringing in the cargo was only a week ago but that this would be the first flight of many.He said:"There were tens of thousands of individual pieces on this one and there are tens of millions to come behind that."He added:"When you are working on a project like this, it's about contributing to the national effort to the frontline, which is struggling currently.

Really !!!! From China they’ve probably infected everything before sending it 😢

None of it any good. Wait for the left to blame the government.

More importantly though, is it any good? 🤔

We don't need help. We need hate

The noble westerner, covering his eyes, walked into the pit, but there is a pit blame...The noble westerner, covering his eyes, walked into the pit, but there is a pit blame...

Are they safe for use is the question

Virus must have attacked somebody's brain, because they said evil words to people who are helping them.

cuidado

From China..? They must have felt guilty for spreading the virus 🦠

From fucking china haha ya couldnt make this shit up have you not seen on some vids of them spitting on the masks

Are they N95 compliant?

Yep them virus sampling kits going to be spot on everything off WISH arrives as described with 5 star feedback in mandarin.

Please CCP stop sending us stuff.

How much is the Chinese Communist Party profiting from this?

Getting ppe from the worst hygine place possible what were u thinking our people are dying because of that filth country yet ur buyin ppe to save our people explain that one please 🤔🤔🤯makes no sense at all

China sucks

Unberleavable buy our ppe from CHINA they caused all these people to die and you go to them for uk ppe are you crazy wonder how much of that ppe will have the virus on them absolute disgusting buying anything from that country 😡😡😡😡😡

BorisJohnson send this crap back if it comes to the U.K.

Next they need to compensate every person effected by this

This PPE was obviously made in China and ordered for Scotland. When was it ordered? Most PPE is made in PRC. You know that. SkyNews is FakeNews

Send them back ChinaMustPay ChineseVirus ChineseBioTerrorism

Thank goodness!

Good work NHS Scotland for procuring the PPE yourself

And they all belong to Scotland....finders keepers rules apply at this time!

Some good news at last

I don’t use anything made in China 🇨🇳 😡

brexit_sham Didn't Chinese authorities get the memo form Tories, that English hospitals have to be prioritised for all PPE shipments? 😉

Is the Scottish government going to share it with the rest of the UK? Pooling and sharing is what we do.

So have the Scottish government withdrawn their claims of ppe being diverted to England

Is that for Scotland or for the whole UK? It isn't clear from your news

It's now i agreed that China will take over power from America soon

Very good news. All NHS staff, carers and emergency workers need protection. I hope this is the first of many flights bringing in PPE.

Dark In scotland ?

Got it by a US citizen

Hopefully not these masks eh...
