A British Airways pilot was allegedly looking at some dodgy stuff during his cockpit break.
No pun intended.
During a long haul UK flight, passenger David Jones claims to have spotted some questionable antics while flying from London to Shanghai.

The 35-year-old was travelling with his wife when he saw the plane's captain swipe through his Apple iPad during a 30 minute break, as reported by The Sun.
Jones shared a photo, which he claims to be of the BA pilot looking through a newspaper on his tablet in a front-row seat.
In the photo, one of the newspaper pages on the iPad appeared to be of two naked women holding each other.

The accountant from London claims that the pilot looked at 'image after image' throughout his 30 minute break, before heading to the toilet.
Jones told the outlet: “The lights were off and the whole cabin was asleep.
“He flicked through image after image for about 30 minutes, went to the bathroom, came back and went to sleep.”
The passenger then claims to have shown BA staff at Shanghai the photos he'd took, which was reportedly met by an apology message from the airline's customer relations team.

They reportedly told him that they would take 'appropriate action'.
LADbible has contacted British Airways for comment.
Last September, a BA pilot was sacked after attempting to fly home after a booze and drug-fuelled bender.

Pilot Mike Beaton was due to fly back from Johannesburg, South Africa to London, but was stopped after a stewardess expressed concerns about if he was in a good state to fly or not.
Admitting he'd been a 'very naughty boy', Beaton, from Devon, was suspended from flying and was flown home as a passenger the following day.
Upon his arrival at Heathrow airport, the married BA pilot was made to take a drugs test - which came back positive.
In a comment to LADbible, British Airways said: "Safety is always our top priority. The matter was referred to the CAA and this individual no longer works for us."

A UK Civil Aviation Authority spokesperson added: “An airline must immediately inform us if a UK pilot has misused drink or drugs boarding, or being on board, an aircraft.
"In these cases we would immediately suspend the pilot’s medical which means they cannot fly.
"In most cases the pilot would have an assessment with an expert medical team and if they wished to return to flying then a comprehensive rehabilitation programme would be put in place.
"At the end of that process the medical would only be reinstated if we were completely satisfied.”
