In this note, we give a positive answer to a question addressed in \cite{Nad-Per-Tan}. Precisely we prove that, for any kernel and any slope at the origin, there do exist travelling wave solutions (actually those which are "rapid") of the nonlocal Fisher equation that connect the two homogeneous steady states 0 (dynamically unstable) and 1. In particular this allows situations where 1 is unstable in the sense of Turing. Our proof does not involve any maximum principle argument and applies to kernels with {\it fat tails}.
