Beagle - As it happened she did ask me why they were 'dressed funny'. God it made me feel old.

But the bit she did like was the flying, even if I was a tad disappointed she asked me 'why is the green bit above them ?' when they were inverted.

What followed was based on a bit (lot) of Vino, limited knowledge of inverted flight and not a small amount of WW2 war films as my hands tried to describe formation flight upside down.

Needless to say that by the time I had finished explaining it all and telling eveyone how I could have been a FJ pilot, the room was very, very quite.

In the words of the Sun reporter faced with paying for a 'special massage' I made my excuses and left.
