BA270 Musee Canopee Chateaudun 21st Oct 2023

As many of you are probably aware the French Airforce have stored some of their aircraft at Chateaudun Airbase east of Le Mans . When the air force moved out it seemed to become very difficult to visit but after seeing a post last month I contacted them and was told visits are now possible again on Saturdays and Wednesday but need to be prebooked . All but one of the aircraft are I believe still owned by the Armée de l'Air but seem well looked after by the volunteers .
If you get the chance its well worth a visit
Here is a link to their website
