As far as I know, Chef de Mission is the name of the French trainingvariant of the TLP. Chef de Mission is a qualificationtraining for French fighterpilots. The school had to leave at the end of 2007 Saint Dizier because in short at Saint Dizier E.C. 2.7 Lorraine will see the light. The nucleair boys with the Rafale!
E.C. 1.5 Vendee is not active anymore, buildings and (air)space enough fot the school to stay permanent at Orange. Also the weather in the south is very good.
Rumours are that E.C. 2.5 Ile de France in the future will leave for Istres.
