My latest log from the Airbus-land,this time solo and on foot with views
limited to approach/ departure,the terminal area and several covert visits
to the car park.
A quiet day for activity at the plant (French holiday season appears to be
in full swing),but made up for by more 380 activity than has been usual in
recent months. Also,runway 32L was not in use,meaning that the limited
Airbus test activity took place on 32R (nearer the terminal) making for
superb views. 
Interestingly,preserved AFR Concorde F-BVFC was parked –on stand –at the
delivery centre all day.
On with the log:
The usual disclaimers apply:Brackets indicate assumed reg. from previous
intelligence. No brackets = positive sighting. All times are French local.
