Postcard translation : * look at he size of the warbirds propellers ! Mission accomplished _stop_ Will be back soon _stop_

 

The Mission order seemed to be clear. Just retired from active service, our good vice-president should have carried him to the country of Her Majesty, to view the greatest european warbirds air show, the famous Duxford meeting. But we seemed to have forgotten about the terrific effect of Earl Grey and warm beer, because, just moments after his arrival, local bobbies bring him back to our friend Michel Huveau, asking him if he knows this man, arrested while he was intempting to make turn the propelle... of a windmill!!! Unbelievable, you could tell us ! But we here have the right clues...

In spite of all this story he accomplished his mission and here are the pictures of what could be seen there, in England...
