Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality.

Re: The very last week at Cambrai
The last day... 
A sad - and rather cloudy - day, Cambrai-Epinoy stopped officially flying operations on March 30th, 2012.
Following the EC.01/012 "Cambrésis" disbandment the SPA 162 "Tiger" banner and traditions were tranferred to the EC.01/007 "Provence" flying Rafale at Saint-Dizier.
The visitors

Re: The very last week at Cambrai
So what will happen now? will there be a fly-out (and when?)? or will the Mirages be stored at Cambrai or sold or scrapped??
