That doesn't just apply to the english!
Too right:
Like the F reg numpty arriving at Duxford in the morning of an Airshow (and you know how busy that can be) a few years ago announcing ' Final for 06' when the rest of us were in the active circuit for 24 (about 4 in the circuit and one on final for 24.)
Seemed like an age before he cottoned on to the fact that the FISO's message inviting him to consider going around was for real.
Did he apologise? Certainly not on frequency he didn't.
Thread creep: do I detect an element of 'holier-than-thou' self righteousness among all these ex-pat Brits branding Brits flying in France as 'arrogant?'
And denying your birthright so as not to be confused as a Brit: Reminds me of my son's ex in-laws (Brits from NI) who always cranked up the Oirish accent to another level when in France to avoid being taken for Brits.
What's wrong with being a Brit?
Oh and before you ask I spent a formative year living/going to school in France many moons ago so have a good grasp of the language.
