Toulouse T'Pau to Dax 14th - 16th April 2018 Day 2

After a typically bland continental breakfast in the hotel, well you won't find anywhere else open on a Sunday morning (or all day) in France, it was off to see what Tarbes had to offer.

Not too bad, a few new builds and a few gap fillers.

Over to Laloubere where we'd accessed all the hangars bar one that was shut. Cue that o-level again (see kids it is worth listening at school). Dog meets Le Rozzer, Le Rozzer opens hangar. Clear out!

A superb piece of pioneering next with the one hangar open and a good reception. Another clear out!

Over at Boeil the hangar was shut as we rocked up. Just then the Savannah appeared and landed. Perfect timing. Hangar opened for a clear out hat-trick. There is a CAP-10 that is based but apparently only comes back twice a year as the owner is a Dassault test pilot at Bordeaux.

The clear out run was ended in ruthless fashion at Andoins. Half a dozen closed hangars and the entrance gated. Ho hum.

Back to clear outs next despite the absence of the Noratlas which has been scrapped.

Time to see if Carol Decker was home..she wasn't... Still, a couple of the large hangars were accessed resulting in a decent score. You used to be able to see in the windows of the heli hangar but this is no longer the case. Too much sun maybe, alright for some!

Bonus stop next. We were unaware of this one until we passed it by chance. Good job Cat had her eagle eyes peeled as I think we'd have all missed it.

More pioneering. Ozenx-Montestrucq was overgrown with just an empty hangar. At least we gave the cows over the road something to look at. They seemed unamoosed by our presence. The sames result next up at Sames...minus the cows.

As we arrived at Itxassou they were just finishing for the day. One hangar quickly accessed but the other was shut up

The Grand Hotel in Dax supplied the bed tonight. Knowing the museum at Dax does not open until 1400L we'd agreed to sort a plan over a beer and a bite to eat. Whilst Bully and Nay tried to eat their steak, before it ran away, Cat plotted a new route. You'll have to tune in tomorrow to see where we went (I've already forgotten).
