Heads will roll...........

Post by DuncaninFrance » Sun Jul 15, 2018 3:16 am

Two french cock ups yesterday at the Bastille Day parade in Paris.......

Two gendarmes involved in a complex motorbike ballet with horsemen from the Republic Guard crashed into each other within yards of Mr Macron.

In one of the most keenly-awaited moments of the display, three sets of three jets were due to to trail the colours that make up the French tricolour flag - red, white and blue.

However, due to a mix-up in charging the canisters, one of the jets had been fitted with the wrong colour - red instead of blue - meaning the jets flew over with a lop-sided flag of white, red, blue and then red again.

Everybody knows how much the Guardian...British...like the French. Maybe they photo shopped the mistake to cover for the French who beat that dastardly upstart pipsqueak countries team that licked them in a game of soccer. :bigsmile:

Maybe the pilot pulled the wrong handle and then someone radioed him and he corrected the mistake in time for the Guardian to get the right photos?
