Cambrai-Epinoy (LFQI/XCB) - 2012 MIL

[Richard de Florennes]

Hey Richard,

Thanks for the report. However, there was more on the ground when we drove around the field;


F-AZTG MD.312 ex mil ID?

I guess you are referring to F-AZGE coded 12-XA? (former code system for Cambrai station flight aircraft)

c/n 158 according to http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/F-AZGE.html

also see for ID of the aircraft at Cambrai http://www.flickr.com/photos/aviagold/7029932957/

hope this helps.

The following aircraft left Cambrai already:

3/04/2012:
81/103-LB --> Orange
86/103-LL --> Orange

11/04/2012:
85/103-LK --> Orange
88/103-KV --> Orange

note that both airframes on 11/04/2012 had special tails, but when arriving at Orange, the special markings were gone already...

27/04/2012:

departure of 2 M2000 to ???

02/05/2012:

departure of the last M2000 at Cambrai to Chateaudun
100/103-YF
122/103-YE
with TBM700 104/XJ as crewtransport plane

Unfortunatly Cambrai is empty now. Last week they already put the gateguard of his pole...

On the pics-aeronef website I see they still fly with 103 codes and insignas. I also see that 121/103-KN is flying at Orange, don't know when this one left Cambrai

Hey Wim,

Many thanks about your updates on the Mirage-scene at Cambrai!

I've seen the first pics of 121/103-KN at Orange around April, 25. I guess somewhere around that date it arrived at BA115.

It looks like Orange is crowded with Mirage 2000's by now!

Greetings, Erik
