Toulouse Blagnac & Francazal 3rd May 2018
This was our second trip to TLS this year (The previous was 31-1-18). Plenty of new frames about, and as before we didn't bother with any of the tours as we had found the Panaroma Tour a bit disappointing on previous trips, and there wasn't enough in the A380 assembly halls to warrant the A380 … Continue reading Toulouse Blagnac & Francazal 3rd May 2018
