Default Fly resistant carrotts

I put in a row of fly resistant carrots from Unwins, variety "Flyaway"
back in June and started to lift them this month.
Alas, every one is affected by carrot fly and some very badly. It
hardly seems worth the expense if this is the result. The seeds cost
about 3 times the cost of ordinary carrot seed, and for what.

Has anyone else on the NG tried this type out before, and with what
results.
