Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Great shots. I like them.
What an environment for material....... :roll:
You can imagine what dust can do.

What is the origin/nationality of the Transall? French ?

Great shots indeed.
Transall is definitely French; if you look closely it appears to be (R)225 (above the cockpit windows) with code 64-GY (on the fuselage) of ET00.064

edit: Scramble database confirms tie-up but gives last noted date as March 2007. Presuming this pic was taken later than that, "We have an update"!
Frank Kramer

Always going forward... still can't find reverse!
