Boulogne Hoverport 2009

Mr. N. Levy kindly sent these photos to me of his memory-lane trip to the Boulogne Hoverport terminal buildings in 2009.

The tower at Boulogne Hoverport is now used by local economic authority. Their main mission is to help for economical devlopement for Boulogne mainland [Grandjean, 2010].
