Le Touquet summer before last. I am climbing out and am over the numbers at 500 + feet. A pair of G registered Cherokees appear from my right side apparently joining crosswind and pass just over my head. I hope they were arrested on landing and instructed in the French way of joining a circuit.
Why do we continue to teach and use in UK the "standard overhead join", it has only one advantage.. at least you will be close to a fire truck when you have your midair over the numbers!
