Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

I thought Cambrai was closed?? :?:
But it looks good for a closed airbase :!:
Compromise is failure.

During this morning there were two flights with four aircraft each.
EC 1/12 would be disbanded next April and the air base closed during summer 2012 :(

During our visit to the Tiger Meet we spoke with one of the organisers, one of our remarks was that the fence was to close to the taxitrack.
He said that they will move it a few more meters back at the next and last airshow in 2012, so it could be that there is a farewell airshow/spottersday in 2012, hopefully with a lot of tigers.
Although nothing is sure in aviation live.

Lovely shots ! It makes me regret that I didn't go there when it was still busy. Hopefully I can go there this winter to make up for it.

Salut,
