Gilbert Savona's TRAB Photos

Some while back Elaine was contacted by Monsieur Gilbert Savona who has been trying to contact various airmen who were stationed at TRAB long time before him. After a series of correspondence with different people, I eventually got his message. He was kind enough to send us some photos, old and new, of life at TRAB. Please note that unless otherwise indicated, I am not sure exactly what these photos are of. In M. Savona's own words:

"I am a NCO in french air army since 1973, I am 51 years old. I was stationed at TRAB from aug.1996 to aug.2004. Today, I am at Nancy-Ochey air base, my task is to prevent pollutions on the air-base.

Maybe [the original correspondent] told you that we are searching documents or photos of TRAB to make an historical center on our base.

I rest in touch, waiting for news. If you have some photos to send to me, please use this e-mail :  gilbert.s1@hotmail.fr because the e-mail I use to write yet, doesn't support large pictures.

I am very proud to correspond with men who were in France as military and I thank [the original correspondent] to obtain for me your collaboration.M. Al Christensen, DAVE Menard, Don Dodson, Norm Adams have wrotten to me. And now you did.

So thank you, and if you come in France and want to visit TRAB, it would be a real pleasure to guide you.

In a friendly way, G. Savona."

Elaine again. I am presenting his images below, exactly as sent. I do not have any information on what they represent unless otherwise mentioned below.
