Mr Pounder Esquire formulated the question :
A friend has a Baxi 45/4M gas boiler, one with the gas fire in front of it.
Seems the pilot light has a habit of being blown out when it is windy.
He could not ignite the pilot light yesterday, but today the pressing of the
buttons worked.
Press for gas/ hold / press for spark. I'm sure you know what I mean.
Seems the pilot light is behind a glass shied, difficult to get to using a
match.
I suspect that this is going to happen again
Any suggestions?

Is it not lighting, or not staying in once lit?
Can it be made to light with a match? and stay lit?
