Hi all,
a £50 return flight in exchange for a day out at Toulouse, seemed
a fair deal and so the groups first outing this year was made. As usual a
hire car was used to do all the known spotting points around this big
airfield. We did several circuits at different times and managed to see in
the delivery centre hangar after darkness thanks to the internal lighting
and the amount of large windows. We also did the Panoramic coach tour and
this seemed to take a slightly different route to the one I did last year –
when it’s warmer and the hangar doors will be open, this route will increase
the numbers seen. It was blooming cold whilst we were there, so no doors
were open anywhere!
77 new frames for me and 5 scrapes made this a very productive day with
Francazal still to come. We had heard that there were a larger number of
ATRs to be found there than usual. That log will follow on another email….
Good to see you out there Ian & Neil. Feel free to get in touch if you can
add to this log or need any help with yours…..

One request is for a suggestion what this should really read? “c/n 49 A350
primer”. It can’t be c/n 49 as this has been delivered to China Airlines
already and I saw it in Hong Kong last October.
Another request is for confirmation of the construction number of F-WKVD. It
was used by c/n 1005 but that was fully painted for NordStar at one time and
is a ATR-42. The example we saw was a ATR-72 in primer….
There was also one more Indigo A320 present but we were unable to identify
it……
