Four years to restore it, another four to get the CAA to accept it……:diablo:

The image is a bit dated, the three Hercs by the control tower were disposed of some time ago.

Mr Coopers are IL2’s, not 10’s…

I thought it would be worth referring to them as they are a close relative.

And I think it more a case of dont just turn up un announced and expect to be shown around, and dont try breaking in, rather than “Dont try visiting”

Isn’t there a couple of IL10’s being restored in the UK somewhere one for the RAFM i think?

Yep, with Gerry Cooper at Wickenby. Don’t try visiting, though.

Also two with Didier Chable at Melun;

Some of the photos are a bit more arty than the kind of thing we are used to, and the banter takes a bit of wading though, but a useful insight into the French aviation scene.
