Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Is anyone thinking about going to the 49th Paris International Air Show at Le Bourget this year?
I'd love to go and wondered if anyone had ever been before.

They went to the new QE hospital. I could hear them hovering around for a couple of minutes, then 2 came back together followed by the third.
