8 AUG 07: DEL BOY FLIES IN

DEL Boy continues to go up in the world. The cheeky trader from South London is into helicopters these days, plying his shady wares around the world but he took time off to fly himself into RAF Fairford last month for the launch of this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo.

Actor Sir David Jason, a loyal supporter of the Air Tattoo and the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, came in his ‘Only Fools and Horses’ flat cap and sheepskin uniform to bring a typically Cockney ambience. Sir David is now a qualified helicopter pilot and the Del Boy in him agreed that he was happy to use his new skills to help promote the Tattoo.

“This only proves how important I am these days,” quipped Del Boy.
