Romorantin-Pruniers (LFYR) - 2009

[Mr.ETUL]

Gliding championships

Hi all,

For those interested in FAF gliders, there's an international gliding competition going on for the next 2 weeks at
Romorantin-Lanthenay. Logged 28 different one's yesterday, plus 7x D.140E/R for towing and 3x Super
Dimona. So I would suggest, if you're a glider freak: go and get them!

Cheers, Mr.ETUL

Hi,

Yep, no worries! You'll see it during the evening.

Cheers, Mr.ETUL

Went to Romorantin-Pruniers (BA273) (LFYR) on 29 july 2009.
Had a look at the east side approach (runways 23L and 23R) and at the aeroclub. (spots 1 and 2 at Scramble airfieldguide: see page 75).

Here's a quick log:
297/UG MD450 preserved barracks (north of D724 road) This one can be photographed very easy.
Mirage 3R 331/33-NE preserved near gate base

Seen taking off/landing at runway 23R were:
507/UA Jodel D140R
515/BG Jodel D140R
717/UT Hoffman HK-36TTC
…/VR DG505 Anyone for its serial?????
177/B177 Centrair C101AP
451/B451 Centrair C101A
619/B619 Centrair C101A
4054/V05 Schneider LS-4
4055/V06 Schneider LS-4
4143/V17 Schneider LS-4
4282/V18 Schneider LS-4
434/CVA Due Discus
117/J28 Janus B
380/YR Schempp Nimbus 4DT
PL33 Belgian Air Cadets
PL43 Belgian Air Cadets
PL73 Belgian Air Cadets
F-HFPF Had a flight in this one to chateau Chambord and back
F-GZBV

HB-3267
HB-3287/DL
HB-3315/M
F-GFTY
F-CFKV/T75
F-CGGA/GA

Near aeroclub:
F-BPAU PLATFORM
F-AZNV HANGAR
F-CHKB /KB HANGAR
F-CGUV/722 HANGAR
F-CGAN
and many I didn't write down because I was lucky to catch a ride (flight

Preserved inside hangars at military side:
20109/X10 Schleicher ASW-20FL preserved hangar
(read the 10 off myself but confirmation on this one but also be appreciated)
(Scramble database says last noted june 2008)

And there were some more preserved and lying or hanging at side and back of walls inside the two large open hangars.
I think the ones on the back walls are the Wassmer WA22 and WA30. These look quite big.

Can any one confirm these gliders as still being present?
142/J38 Janus C (Scramble database says last noted may 2008)

Wassmer WA22 138/SB (Scramble database says last noted june 2008)
Wassmer WA30 159/GE (Scramble database says last noted june 2008)
JP15/36A 1/P01 (Scramble database says last noted june 2008)
Caproni A21S 221/M (Scramble database says last noted june 2008)

TIA for any updates/corrections. Hope this log is of help to others.
