Tripehound Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) So what's the story behind this palce? Thanks, Andy Here's their website - there are 2,500 aircraft models in the castle! http://reception-aviation.chateau-savigny.com/en/index.htm It's near Beaune, in Burgundy, worth a visit in it's own right.

depressed lemur Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Been looking at a holiday in France near the coast. May have to rethink the location a bit now.

woody37 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hmmm. Explaining that the holiday to France ending up at a hotel full of aircraft might stretch to a coincidence. Meeting 20 fellow Britmodellers each with astonished partners who have accidentally done the same probably wouldn't work !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Bonsai Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Nice collection,does anyone one know anything about the lightning,it looks like an F1a. XM178 Lightning F1A 23 Sqn markings. Some amazing airframes there - shame they are not hangered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 XM178 Lightning F1A 23 Sqn markings. Some amazing airframes there - shame they are not hangered Interesting - 23 only ever flew F3s and F6s. I agree the painted-out emblem on the tail looks like it may be the 23 Sqn emblem, but equally could it be something else perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wheels Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Maybe.... collect a few less planes....and then build a hangar for the ones you have. Helping preserve them for future generations. Voila! Cest bon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 - Owing to the proximity of the middle age castle, the owner of the "museum", Mr Pont, is not allowed by the authorities to built an hangar or even a shelter to protect his wonderful collection. I'm a regular visitor of this part of Burgondy but not wistanding my love for whatever flies I carefully avoid visiting this place, this treasure in direlicts is too sad, I prefer visit the vineyards and their associated " caveau" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks Andy. However, given the general state of them, and the lack of ejection seats, armament, and on two of them pitot probe, I suspect these are airfield decoys. It does explain the markings though. This thread's quite old now so I can't recall where I got my info, but I suspect from my copy of Jefford's RAF Squadrons Edited May 26, 2014 by MikeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
