Besides current fighter airplanes, there were also a couple of formerly used aircraft types on display. I noticed than one of these decommissioned airplanes, a subtype of the Mirage V, had a special outfit for military observations (dating from the end of the sixties up to the end of the seventies) consisting of, amongst others, a whole battery of high performance observation lenses for air reconnaissance at low altitude. These turned out to be ELCAN (Made in Canada). Is that not a lens made by Leica?
