Landivisau to Le Bourget 13th - 19th June 2017 - Day 5

The plan  was to hit Orleans and Chateaudun before the haze became an issue. Mr Blue Sky had other ideas and turned the heat on early.

(R158)/61-ZX Aerospatiale C-160R Transall 158 - no tail

We counted 26 Transalls stored here. 9 were complete, 17 had no tail. The above is what we actually read off.

That was the starter done, now for the main course. Chateaudun.

Again, it is pointless listing what we saw other than what we could read off. Quite a lot have serials scrubbed out. Needless to say plenty went begging

Nobody about at Moret. One hangar was open so we read those from outside. Over at the gliding side they were just locking up for the night. We were allowed a quick look in one side of the hangar but as matey was already running late we didn't push our luck.
