A roam around western France tuesday

Hi all
Had a job to Saint Malo France on tuesday morning then headed east to Paris passing some fields enroute
(Some poor quality shots included due to haze/distance unfortunately)
First up was Saint Malo-Dinard…a few stored airliners at Sabena Tech here:

Wandering around the French airfields is always a joy.

Is that sneaky wee Togo Buffalo poking its tail up in the second shot also stored ? Pity you couldnae get in amongst all that stuff.
