Just been to France for a trip to Le Mans. Part of the time we were stying at a farmhouse in Normandy, owned by a Brit. The farmhouse was in a French Air force low flying area - lots of low-level Mirages.

The owner was telling us about a tv programme that had been on about training the pilots, sounded very much like the French version of 'Combat Pilot'. They hadn't watched much of it but in the bit they had seen one of the trainees was having a 'caps on, no coffee' interview with his flight commander getting a rollicking for eating a sausage while flying a low-level mission.

Not at 250 ft over Wales I hope.
