French. Regulations...... Riiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhttt....
One imagines Les Grenouilles probably have quite a lot of unused live ammo.
And, as told to me by an Airbus test pilot:
A German, a Brit and a Frenchman all receive a shiny new aeroplane and an Operating Manual.
The German looks in the book to find the rules for a particular procedure. No rules - no can do.
The Brit looks in the book to see if there's anything prohibiting from doing the procedure. Nothing written down - well, it must be OK then.
The Frenchman looks puzzled. "Book? What book?"
