A British ex-pat curry addict who was missing his favourite spicy meal has arranged for a takeaway to be delivered to France.
Pilot James Emery, 31, who lives in the Bordeaux area, organised the long-distance delivery with Faz Ahmed, the manager of the Akash restaurant in Southsea, Hampshire.
A total of 89 meals, 70 side dishes, 75 portions of rice, 100 poppadoms and 10 servings of mango chutney were prepared and packed on to an aircraft for the one-off flight to Bordeaux.
