Dreux Today

Note: this is pretty rough but I wanted to get it up.

If you have been reading the blog you have noticed that we are getting information from our new friend Patrick Rouby who lives near the base. He finally managed to get on the base. and he sent us these pictures. I am including the text from his email. We are hoping to have more pictures coming as he says he has 200 of them. I have no idea where on the base these pictures were taken so that information will come later.  Remember to click on pictures to see full screen size. Click again for even larger view.
