The car park south of the Airbase (main car park) should be avoided. This field us soggy and cars got stuck getting in. Getting out is allready proving. I am afraid it will not get better when everyone leaves. A tractor is allready pulling cars out.
There is also a huge traffic jam getting in.
Do yourselve a favor and park in town and get a bus from there. Busses run smoothly.
There was also a Spanish Casa parked in the marguerite area near the Italian C-27. In that hangar a French Casa could be seen as well. Seems to be the 129 or 199?
Additions to the flight line on Saturday were the two EVAA Extra 300s 04/F-TGCI & 05/F-TGCJ (04 displayed during the morning). E68 is confirmed as PdeF No 8. E73 carried no code and was the only one not in the new PdeF scheme. Not actually read by us, but we were told that the Spanish CASA was T21-10/35-48. The French CN295 hangared in the Marguerite area is confirmed as 199. And yes, we got stuck in the mud! Credit to the Air Force for having the foresight to place tractors in the car park field which were kept very busy.
Thanks for the confirmation of the 199.
In the south west marguerite three C-160's could be seen from the bus ; R205, R211, R212. In the second marguerite a CN-235 stood out, looking weathered.
Besides the CN-235 111/62-II, which flew in the airshow on Saturday morning, two others were noted.
CN-235 158/(62-IE)
CN-235 071/(62-IR)
One of those departed in the morning. The other was visible from the static side. (Unknown which is which)
Near C-160 R-93/(61-ZK) also R-97/(61-ZA) could be found. (With a little effort both could be seen completely stored minus parts)
Stored in the last dispersal area C-160 R-160/(61-ZZ) could be seen completely. Nearby was an Armee de 'l Air Hercules. Only partly seen.
The preserved Broussard was still present near some barracks.
