Le Fou d'Ailes – Cholet 28 September

Not works of art, but perhaps of interest to some, taken at the free air display at Cholet, in Western France, last Sunday.

Not three, but four Magisters – the Patrouille Tranchant, based at Rennes. Rather like a scaled down version of the Magister equipped Patrouille de France of my youth.

As to Flamants, there were two at Cholet flying in formation – F-AZDR and F-AZER – thanks to the good chaps of the A3A at Alençon. And I believe that they may have a third potential flyer in the pipeline!

The Criquet belongs to the museum at Angers – as does the Sauterelle and the Cub.

Well well, I didn’t know there were still any Flamants flying, or Criquets for that matter. It would be fascinating, if probably very slow and long winded, to get the Criquet somewhere to meet Peter Holloway’s Storch.

Are the three similarly painted Fouga Magisters an aerobatic team? Oh yes, add those into the above sentence as well!
