I was just waiting for a passing rain front to skirt Duxford before heading home, it was very quiet and nothing was happening, when just before mid-day the French Air Force arrived in the shape of an Aerospatiale AS332L1 Super Puma 2235/FZ which parked up on the jet pan. Another rain front passed through, and then another and as the Super Puma was leaving just gone 2pm, it was raining again. In the order taken.
