Is there anyone going to this museum in a near future? I’m doing my little personal research about Atar engines and there are few things I’m not certain of – photos from this museum would help me a lot. For example: There is a fixed nozzle of Atar 101 D3 displayed (at least according to the information panel), but it might not be true, since it seams from some photos that there are moveable eyelid nozzle flaps. And it also seems that there is an experimental thrust reversal system installed on this nozzle, but information panel says nothing about it.
If you are going there, please give me a note (PM or email), I would be very grateful for some/any detailed photos. It’s not easy for me to get there since its quite far for me now.

Bumping the question.
What about this year, is there anyone going to this museum, please?
The thing I’m interested in the most is the thrust reversal device behind Atar 101D3’s nozzle. Note the “U” shape rings on the image below. The air is directed to those rings probably using two movable flaps in the nozzle, which are hydraulically controlled. I’d love to see this nozzle from behind, where the flaps are visible, but I’m unable to such photos on internet. Do you know about someone going to visit this museum this year? If so, please PM or email me, thanks.
