Why not speak to John and Jayne of the SG7's and see if we can organise it to be an SG7 meet there one month?
Kindest Regards,

There's a 75% replica of the Mosquito down the road from me at La Rochelle.

I went last week. Here's a random collection of photos I took.

Interesting place. The red fuselage you can see in some of the photos is the original prototype that was built at that site.
Regards,
Dave

A group of us from the WSCC organised a run there earlier in the year and they were very welcoming to us. By pre-booking in advance we were able to
park amongst the planes for some good photo opportunities and for a little extra we got a guided tour which was both entertaining and worthwhile.

I forgot it is Fathers day. Damn wife has organized a BBQ for her dad. Looks like I'm out unless it's in the morning or it might be
better to go on the Saturday instead. Might be an Idea to change the title too so people realize it's a meet.
