Next day I went to Nice for the day. I sat in the CAP 3000 car park,you can see a small part of the apron through the vegetation and as they approach over the sea , it makes it hard to read them off, so with a combination of bins & the SBS, I saw 142 on the ground and 19 overflights, A lot of it was mandanery, but a few highlights were...7T VUS , A7 AFO , P4 KUL , OE IIB , S5 ABL , ES PVS

Today was a quick visit before I went & delivered in town for 09.00.
G IKOS , OE FFB , G LEAB , OO CEH , OO KRC , M LEFB , F HNCY and N878P

Image

And finally the Beech 18 gate gaurd has been given a lick of paint

Image

As i was now empty that left me able to return through Switzerland, so off I set for the Italian border, just over which I turned into the mountains to go the twisty way back Through the Tende tunnel.

Image

Image
Very picture skewy it was too.
This is looking back down the mountain from near the tunnel entrance.

Image

Image

The tunnel itself appears to be hand dug not smooth like usual and of course its narrow too....... hence......

Image

Image

I know its a shitty shot but the amusing aspect is the green signs show the distances to escape exits in each direction, but in this tunnel because it straddles the border the signs show which country is nearest

Image

Another reason to go this way was to visit Cuneo Lavaldigi airport, and what a dissappointment 5 aircraft including an Albatross wreck

Image

I ASAR , EI EKI , EI DLY and I ACVD

Image

Then on to Turin Casselle, 6 aircraft including the DC3 gate gaurd

Image

HB IZG , EI DAE , D ABJH , I BIXP , EI DTM and I LEON (fake)

Then on to the secondary objective the Caprioni Museum at Malpensa.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The obligatory floatplane for Reggie :lol:

Image

Yes it is civil I AMDA

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

A bit above averge for a flightsim

Image

Image

Image

Didn't think I would NOT show you a Connie if I could , did you ?

Image

Image

These few wrecks are in a compound at the end of the car park

Image

Guess which tunnel I chose ?

Image

From the autoroute I could see a few aircraft out at Buochs/Stans, whichever you prefer, so popped in. HB FLB , HB FNI and OK MPM.

Image

Image

Then that was it all airplaned out, so I came straight home to recover, so I am ready to do it all again,

Have fun
Terry
