    What about floatplanes/ seaplanes Christian

    Dead easy to find when you tap in 94400 Vitry, which is the French town. I didnt realise Beke was the name of the company. The photos shown on this thread in the woods, are they at the same location? I see on milweb they are closing for 2010 is that retirement or the French laws about scrapyards that have brought on closure? Christian

    Anyone got a correct address for this place as i put Beke in the route planner and it came up with nothing. I wouldnt mind going up and taking a few photos of this place before history is lost. Christian

    Another thing to consider is the tow hitch fitted to your vehicle. Ive just changed mine on a Renault Master van to a heavy duty one because the standard one was a 750kg hitch! Christian

    Welcome to the forum...... I lived in cricklade st, there was a bar 5 mins walk away the waggon and horses, many a slurp was had there and then off to Brize or Lyneham with the hangover in the morning!

    Ive towed a lightweight on a twin axeled trailer behind a volvo 850 with no problems, also did a jeep once behind a BMW 320i same twin axeled trailer but that was a bit hairy as the towing vehicle was too light. But we recovered a jeep stranded 150kms away without breaking anything! Twin axle trailers are far better if you can get one because it wont bounce around so much on the back of the towing vehicle.

    Its an old base and still used. ive used it lots of times for a mountain rescue training base and for deployments. The Ten Tors is run from there and The military use it as a main base on Dartmoor and there is a big debate about the Army staying on the moors. Christian

    The 11 planes I listed were ones used but there were 10 others that didnt meet CAA/fAA spec (holes in the bodywork and 2 with no jump doors) As for the ground shots I think it was trick photography to reproduce more c47,s Christian
