May’s first visit, this time with car and not one but two good friends, so everything that could be seen was recorded.
A good amount of flying was witnessed, including the delivery of Finnair’s latest A330 OH-LTO. Their next was also duly noted on its return from Chateauroux, freshly painted. Add to that the arrival of no less than 3 A320s from Hamburg Finkenwerder after cabin installation which made for an action-packed day.
