Adieu to the gentille Alouette

Pilots, such as the legendary Alain Frebault, Reme Romet and Jean-Pierre Roca come and go but the Alouette was always there. Criss-crossing the skies with the characteristic thud-thud of its jet turbine. On Saturday the last of the Alouette III rescue helicopters were decommissioned. We were at le Versoud aerodrome near to Grenoble to follow proceedings.
