One year after the reunion in the United Kingdom, the Czechoslovak airmen were invited to France and it went in a similar vein as the year before. This time, though, only the airmen went there, without any companions. It was distressing for Jan's wife, mainly because she was worried about Jan's health and what if something happened there. His heart was quite damaged after several heart attacks and every strong experience, even if positive, was deleterious. Iveta was sad that she would not see the war fields and France as such. Shown on the photograph are Jan Irving, Bohuslav Jaroš aka "Suchar" [Dry-wit], faithful friends, in front of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris. During those days, they visited, among others, two air force bases, jet fighter base, and a bomber base which was one of the most important contemporary air base in France where they posed, along with the staff, under the much admired Mirage 2000. They also visited the military cemetery at La Target and many other places.
