A friend was here during his 60th birthday and on the big day I took him out into the garden at around 9.45am. Spot on cue the Patrouille de France roared over puffing smoke and I hinted that I had laid the flypast on for him.
When they did the same for the following few days he twigged and I had to tell him that they did it most days on their way up to their practice airfield at Plan Dieu.
