Our fabulous guie, René is proud to exhibit the functionning turret.

The visitors have been charmed by him.

Negative point: they will remember only the guide

Positive point: we will see them back next year, for the work itself this time...

The sessions of the month of June were rich in events. After months of work and the repairing of a refractory smooth landing, the turret is again operational. These results fill satisfaction the workers of the GTA.

About works, the restoration of the turret advances. The patient disassembly of the axes of manoeuvre allowed us to localize and to repair a cold landing that blocked the moving turret in position down The next stage: the rehabilitation of the electric organs of manoeuvre.
