Hi, my friends!

I just scanned these old photos.

They show my father in 2 of them, aged 21 in 1946.

He was just beginning as Air Controller at Rennes Saint Jacques airfield (and just married my mother too !!).

The RAF controllers had just left and given the commands to french people.

At this time, General Charles de Gaulle made some visits to french airports to officialize young French freedom.

He used a C54, gift from President Harry Truman and was escorted by French P47D of Groupe de Chasse GC I/5 "Champagne" wearing code C9-x and the "Charognard" (or golden hawk of the 2nd squ.) insignia.

Look at these testimonial souvenirs!

Regards

Papi Jeff
