Michel Pont Collection

By heck !! This man has a stronger Air Force than we have.

If you do visit, don’t forget the storage area which is outside the main gardens. When I visited in 1994 it had about half a dozen jets waiting their turn to be displayed or traded, including an F-105 and a very mouldy Meteor.

M.Pont deserves a great deal of credit for saving aircraft that would normally have been headed for the smelter, including our very own Hawk 75.

I was amazed at how they got all those motorcycles up the stairs..:eek:

I visited the Musee des Avions de Chasse at Savigny-les-Beaune during the summer of 2008 and made this video:

Tillerman.

I seem to remember someone mentioning a visit on a previous thread – but when that was I couldn’t tell you. I also remember a lot of photos in an old European Wrecks and Relics book (published around 2000).

I used to live just over an hour’s drive away, but never knew it was there!
