W&R South of France (Marseille-Le Luc)

Post by erik_kamphuis »

I read in Scramble 442 in W&R part the former GIA Alouette 3 from Toulon is seen last sept 2015 in the closed military fort Batterie de Peyras (near La Seyne sur Mer/south of Toulon harbour).It should be stored behind a closed gate. I see the fort in GE, but no heli.
Anyone info if it can be seen from outside and photographed.
I am near Toulon in May for holidays.
Also info wanted (other than eurodemobbed/Scramble airfield guide) about spotting at Cuers, Hyeres (are the dump a/c still for years the same?), were can I find the dumped ex Cameroon AF AS.332 at Marseille?

The Cameroun Puma can be seen from approximately N43.43418, E5.20265. It is about 200m inside the fence.

As mentioned the Alouette is behind a closed gate and apparently not photographable.
The fort is open during the annual weekend in September when all French museums are open for free.
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline
