It wasn`t too windy at Paris for the Vimy to fly. The authorities offered us hangarage overnight and then opened a public road in front of that particular hangar at 0600 on the morning so we couldn`t get it out for the show. Funny that. The Saturday show was televised and we hoped to point out we had been flying the Atlantic for 50 years!
