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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

The
incident didn't spoil the event, many pilots flew their contribution
to the show. |

colors of the French Flag. |
