Le Versoud is gated but was fairly active. The hangars were all shut up and it seemed each time they took one out or in it was locked again straight away.

Off for a bite to eat and bed. Too tired to look for anything better it was the new McD's in Ferney tonight. Buster was rather excited at the extras they do here. Some cheese and ham toastie or something...the mini hot dogs were not bad though. And yes, Pogo, they were done ;-)
