Can I jump in here while people are thinking of "real" aeroplanes? I was at Schwenningen last week and the tarpaulin covered fuselage is still where it has always been.

It´s already been done Maurits, if you check out The Avionist.com in March 2013 and/or Fresh.co.il and scroll down to the M346 link you´ll see two versions, one by Al Clark (who at least got the serial right) and one by Raanan. Neither had the DAYGLO ladders beloved of Dutch photographers ....

Very nice, but no pictures of the girl from Ipanema?

It´s a matter of what your priorities are. Paris in June can be very pleasant, so a light jacket that can be slung over your shoulder, Henry Cotton for example, and then the company (or old-school) tie can be reasonably removed. Dutch-style zipper bottom khaki pants are probably not the ideal camouf...

Aussi Govt pix on FlightGlobal show Hornets (airborne) A44-209 plus A44-224 (in a temporary shelter), both fully armed. They also show Adel'A Rafale 104-GJ being refuelled by an Aussi 330 over a sandy landscape. (A39-001 and 005 were noted at Getafe two weeks ago.)

Bad news for anyone heading for TLP:

E-(0)70, 600, 601 & 602 were all at Albacete last week!

According to Sky News, tonght's Tornados returned with their "loads" - no targets found
