Celebrating with 100 Years Aeronavale
Hyeres France |
Dutch Aviation Support was there for
Fuerza Aerea to report about this event |
We also treat you on a photographic
impression of a very well organised day in sunny conditions ! |
A very fine show, all kinds of airplane
types came along for the spectators |
|
|
|
For 100 years anniversary Aeronavale naval aviation, a celebration was held
at BAN Hyeres |
|
It's a base of medium size,
large platforms and nice environment ! |
|
Base Aero Navale (BAN) Hyeres
Tower. We lead you through the show without to many comments. Have fun ! |
|
A highlight for the oldtimers: A
replica Bleriot XI |
|
|
|
Still going strong: The Sa-319B
Alouette III |
|
The TBM-3E Grumman Avenger |
|
|
|
Where ever do you see this
example flying ? A treat for the eye !... |
|
... and a last look in the bomb
bay. |
|
|
|
Every one is prepared for his
own specific task, from spotter to fire fighter. |
|
|
|
The Alouette III is a one-engined
helicopter, original Sud-Aviation, later Aerospatiale and recently
Eurocopter group |
|
The Alouette is a helicopter
with almost the best (glass) cockpit view. |
|
IFR is not allowed on this type
so it can only fly under limited conditions |
|
A Falcon 10-Mer (57 Sqn) |
|
The United Kingdom was present
with a Jetstream. This type will be replaced by the Beech King Air
soon. |
|
Breguet Atlantique - The large
surveyer |
|
Another Atlantique, a visitor
from Germany. |
|
This example was painted
with a very nice tail 'Graf Zeppelin'. |
|
And ofcourse the French
themselves showed a celebration example. |
|
|
|
The guys on the platform had a
relatively easy day, in spite of the frequent flights. |
|
A fine example of a
replica Focke Wulf from WW-II period |
|
About
15.00 hours at June 12 heavy sounds of alarm installations indicated
troubles. The FW's engine failed ! |
|
The FW ditched, the pilot
survived without major injuries. (Picture internet credits unknown) |
|
|
|
The incident didn't spoil the
event, many pilots flew their contribution to the show. |
|
|
|
A Harriers tail could enjoy the
'Patrouille de France' having the same colors of the French Flag. |
|
An Italian Merlin |
|
A French Dauphin |
|

Early mornings it was quite
calm, good opportunity to make the pictures on the platform |
|
A nice looking North American
TF-51D... |

... better known as a Mustang. |
|
A bunch of Italian
Sea Harriers |
