Chambery 8th&15thJan

[johnoakes]

So much for Renee my source of info.spit.
Then what do you expect from a St.Etienne fan.LOL
Went to Chambery early am and the Russians were nowhere to be seen just these bread and butter types--however the new Legacy airline was in evidence.










As usual a business for Brian and tiddlers for the purists









Went on my own initiative on Sat evening 15th and guess what--there were the Russians--thank God.





And the usual suspects.











The decendidng light eventually beat me but I shall keep an eye open for the Vim charters.
Finally a photo of the airfield from the entrance to the Dent de Chat tunnel on my way home.
May try a winter visit to Geneva next.

Its what the security use to practice on--rescues etc.
I will get over that side and take a few shots when I next visit--looks a bit like an ERJ but I don't know.

I note that the latest edition of 'Airliner World', cover dated May 2011, has a four sided article on "Chambery Aix-les-Bains, Winter Ski Hub" pages 38 to 41.

There is also a bob O'Brien photo of a ATL-98 Carvair of Aer Lingus at Liverpool on p.45 in an article "Aer Lingus at 75".
