War Planes
After a rather unsuccessful first day we made it back to the hotel - drained, tired and demotivated. We were all hoping for a success on this one, and boy did it deliver!
After only a few hours sleep I felt my phone buzzing.. the generic iPhone alarm chiming*away. Still tired from the day before bags were packed in a zombie-like fashion before meeting up with everyone down in the lobby. We hit the road and before long we were pulling up to the access point. Thick*fog helped cover our access, and soon enough*we were following a path to where these beauties lie. What sounded like a car horn echoed in the distance, so we took off running through waist high grass - getting drenched in the process from the morning dew, but it lead to be nothing more than a false alarm. It seemed we got here at the perfect time - the fog cleared and the sun cast a beautiful orange glow through*the windows of the beast.*

As always, thanks for looking! :D
 
Nobody seems to have identified the planes. They are a Nord Noratlas transport plane (with Bristol Hercules engines made under licence) and a Fouga Magister, a widely used French jet trainer. There are still a lot of Fouga Magisters to be seen at air displays around the world. There are even some for sale on the web!
