Early in the afternoon, the light is not great for the air displays at Villaroche, which take place along Rwy 01/19, but it's nice that aircraft can also be photographed backstage on the taxiway behind the public.

This Cub now wears its correct military tail number, having serial number 43-815. It seems that it spent WWII in South Dakota in a training role. To France in 1947 and registered F-BEGD 75 years ago in February 1948.

A tandem-seat military variant of the Aeronca Chief, the L-3, originally designated O-58, was produced in relatively modest numbers by WWII standards - just 1400 or so. It was used mainly for training Piper L-4 and Stinson L-5 pilots. This one, 42-36161, is listed as written off on 11 December 1942 at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, but it was repaired. Demobbed as NC46674 in 1945. N46674 exported to France in 2021. Its civilian owners included several women and it is here flown by a lady too, Pauline, as part of the Ham and Jam association at Saint-André-de-l'Eure (LFFD).

This is a heavily modified Let C-11 (Yak-11) trainer now powered by an Allison engine. Ex N9YK which still had a radial engine. It was then called a Yak-9 but this seems to make no sense as the trainer was based on the Yak-3 while the Yak-9 was a slighty larger and heavier, all-metal fighter which never used a radial engine.

There is only one aeroplane here in the Alfa Romeo museum, but what a stunner. It is painted as I-ASSI (c/n 04) which made a South American tour for the benefit of handicapped Italian kids in 1949, named Angel of the Children in Spanish and Italian. On the tailfin is a quote from Saint Francis of Assisi.
