Here my log from the spottersday:

Evreux spottersday 23rd june 2012:

June 23 and 24 were planned for a big “Portes Ouvertes” at this transport base, east of Paris. Due too budget cuts it was downscaled to a one day event. Exotic participants like a Mirage 2000 and C-17 from Qatar disappeared from the site. There was a spottersday at the Saturday from 12.30 to 16.00h. This was free excessible, when subscripted. A big row of cars was waiting for the gate, and it opened not before 12.30h. ID-checks were made and it took all a lot off time. First we all had a briefing about the do’s and don’ts! Finally we could enter the static area, but unfortunately all with fences close at the aircraft. The 3 Mirage 2000Ns and Rafales were nice to do with the run-up on the taxi-track. A pair of 2000Ns performing a nice show, you don’t see often! The rehearsels took more time and we could stay till about 5PM. From the Transalls in all dispersals, mostly only tails were visible and 3 flew. The Super Puma at the static was from Solenzara (Corsica). No Pumas or Twin Otters from GAM56 were seen, so you may think this unit moved from here (or did I miss something)? Cougar 2369 had it’s former code FW still visible on it’s tail (ex GAM56?). Pilots from EH01.044 flew the chopper, or is it also from Solenzara? Luckily a C-160Gabriel was on the static with all it’s antennas.

Was R96 flying from/standing in the NW-dispersal?
R157 not mentioned in the last Scramble, flew from there on saturday.
R88 missed some panels, so WFU.
