Although half of that would appear to be tail which I presume could be tucked underneath. I guess to be on the safe side it's best to assume otters at their maximum weight of 8kg.

The Lockheed McDonnell 3-12 is assumed to be modelled on the McDonnell 220 which has a payload of about 8000kg. How many staff would a plane full of otters need? Two pilots, a couple of flight attendants and a couple of bouncers to break up fights (otters looks fighty to me) sound enough? So maybe six at an average weight of 80kg plus a 20kg baggage allowance each is 600kg of humans which leaves 7400kgs of otters if flying fully laden, or 925 otters.

Better make it 900 otters so there's room to take some lunch. That's probably quite enough for most people's requirements anyway.

i've liked it but TBH i havn't a clue wot your on about

Arthur guestimated he could fit a million on Gerti (from Cabin Pressure, spin. It's a sitcom-cum-documentary, on the radio, m'lud). Yours sounds a far better reasoned, and therefore more likely number.

Thanks. One does try to be logical in all things, including cramming otters into an imaginary plane.

A million does seem rather a lot and the wrangling would be a nightmare. Even 900 would be a hassle but I guess you could stack them tight so they can't wriggle too much, assuming the seats have been removed.

Don't mention otters to my old man, I'd imagine you will get a swift Fergie hair dryer !!!;;!!!! There's a rouge otter that's been raiding his and others local villages garden ponds. Four villages have been visited all are connected by a single stream! A 'local' set up a game camera and saw the burglar in action.
Dad said he has only 2 fish left and has put a electric fence around the pond. I didn't think the was otter in Wales less yet Aberystwyth!

Otters are in Wales for sure and googling says the Teifi is a special conservation river for them so they're likely to be in the Ystwyth too. Unlucky for your dad.

Maybe eating all them goldfish has caused it

Mate, it's all that coffee and evaporated milk that keeps you on 'code panther' alert!!! I've stopped drinking coffee these days (tea or green tea now) but if only get offered a coffee I do drink it BUT look out half an hour later!!!!!! Que Benny Hill music

I should market those ‘conveniences’ very handy, although emptying might be fun, or if you are stopped by the law with a full load on it could make some interesting explaining...
