'You're just a f***ing air hostess': architect convicted of drunken in-flight assault IN HER ABSENCE

Simone de Gale, 44, was convicted on four charges after drunkenly attacking Virgin Atlantic crew member Sarah Buckland on a Dubai-to-Heathrow flight in February, then failed to appear at Ealing Magistrates' Court — triggering an arrest warrant as she remains at large. De Gale jabbed Buckland in the chest and grabbed her cardigan after being asked not to walk through an aisle where a nine-month-old baby was sleeping. The founder of Simone de Gale Architects, who has been pictured meeting the King and the Princess of Wales, was convicted of assault by beating, being drunk on an aircraft, and two charges of threatening and abusive behaviour.

Buckland told the court De Gale accused her of racism, shouting: 'You would never ask a white person.'

Passenger Graham Cox testified De Gale repeatedly boasted she earned significantly more than the cabin crew she was abusing.

Arrested at Heathrow on the night, De Gale told officers: 'I don't think that's possible' — after being informed she was under arrest.
