Marcel,
Thanks for the log.
Ex KLu Alouette III A-267 should also have been there. Any sign of it?

Does anyone know the opening times of this museum? Or do I have to make an appointment beforehand?

[marcel32us]

@Andy Marden, No Alouette seen, and I've been inside the shed, so it's probably gone.

@Beagle, No appointment needed. Don't know the times, I just went there and the gate was open. Asked the first person I met where to pay and found the owner after I was already finished If just want the numbers, all but the inside planes are easily vivble from outside, so even when it's closed you can see them.

Good luck!

Beagle,

Openingtimes are between 10.00-12.00 hours and between 14.00-17.00 hours during weekdays. I don't know the openingtimes during the weekend but should look the same. An appointment is not necessery; as long as the gates are open, you can enter the premises. you can find the owner (members) of the museum in one of the last cabins on your righthandside when entering the premisies or in the hanger with the sign of the museum on the outerwall. I was there last monday and entered the museum without problems around 13.00 hours. Admission is 3 Euro's. Have fun!

We visited the museum last week and we saw an other mirage fuselage on a parking next to the museum. I searched for that one and I found:

43 Mirage 3C 43 Ville d'Avray Instr. Airframe

Can anyone confirm its this airframe that has been moved?

A new exhibit was noted on July 25. Jaguar E, E7/11-EC, painted in the colors from EC04.011

Was this aircraft last noted as an i.a. at Rochefort-St. Agnant marked as 7-PN?
