B of B flypast for the Beckhams

I see from reading Teletext that the Beckhams had a flypast from the Battle of Britain Flight to kick off their pre world cup party held at their house at taxpayers expense, (though they did say it ws only a small diversion from Duxford).

Don't know about you but I think it's very sad to use such historic aircraft to salute the England Team.

Surely the Beckhams, with their money - could have paid for a private display by the Red Arrows instead!!

By the way, I am not a Beckham or footy fan.

Maybe they should have had their "do" at "Jumpin' Jacks" nightclub in Southampton then. Not a great place, made worse the other year when waste pipes from the other venues in the complex on the ceiling failed and doused the clubbers on the dancefloor :wink: :shock: :lol:

The likes of Jason Donovan and Whigfield have played there... you truely know you showbiz career has hit rock bottom when you're playing to the students of Southampton :lol:

In all honesty, i gan understand a flypast for the world cup (i know, lets send them over to germany.....) because like the BBMF, England's Football team is part, if not a proud part, of our heratage

However, for a private party. no.
