Hi Oscar,

Strange to see Mirage F1CR 653 with 33-SV code.
Pictures in the photo-forum???

Would be nice!

Regards,

Maurits

Hi,

I cannot post there (pictures are not on a site). If you drop me your email address in private, I can send picture to you. I just send picture to you.

And it was CV instead of SV.

Kind regards,
Oscar

518 (Alsace) F1B (ex) GC1/30

Visit:
F-ZBMC/73 Q400-MR Securité Civile

F1CR 615/112-MZ is not a typo, apparently M-codes are being introduced here as well (next day at Florennes M2000D 133-MP was seen). The unexpected Bombardier stayed almost the whole day. Our wishes came true when 4 Colmar Mirages arrived spectacularly on this sunny and scorching hot day as part of their move and upcoming closure of BA132. All were carrying long-range tanks and the backseats of the duals were empty. The TBM was possibly acting as crew-ferry for the Colmar pilots. I have put XJ under 'based' as almost each time we visit Reims we see this one here. Will try to put some photos on later this week.

Cheers,
Bart

Some additions to your log:
518/112-SR (spec c/s).
682/133-JR is correct.
133-LG should be 651.

I can't help you with the others.

[Oscar01]

Thanks DJ!

Pitty some static a/c were cancelled (in the end). Strange weather as well: rain and less then 700 meters viz and within 10 minutes 25+ Degrees and blue blue conditions....

Hi B727,

Did you do any photography this day ? If so, did they bother you about it ? And did you come close to the fence (with a stepladder even) ?

Hope to hear from you again soon,
Iwan

[Oscar01]

Hi Mister Bogels,

During my visit I was checked by police within 15 min after arrival. I was standing on the road that leads to the civil gate, but without that fence. I asked if it was allowed to take pictures and where.

their answer was only from that road, or in the approach (but there you can walk to the fence, so you don't have to stand in front of the sun). It was definately *not* allowed (according to them) to walk into this field to the fence and take pictures from there.

Hope this helps,
Oscar

[Iwan Bogels]

Hi Oscar,

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure that I understand you correctly, so could you please mark the map below and send it back to me ? I would love to go to Reims befor the end of this year, but don't want to run into problems.

Thanks !
Iwan
