TheCaptain saw from a distance on 2nd Apr 2000 Drive S through Pyrénées mountains to Andorra. Lots of snow at top of pass. Look at Ax-les-Thermes, Niaux and other caves on way back. A cave of which the entrance is so big, aeroplanes were to have been built within it during the war, and taken off from within.

... it is just a rumor that planes had been built there during the 2. ww; the nazi-planefactory never get ready.
years after the war a film was made there and for that purpose a small plane landed there and take of again. the once and only "plane-movement" at that site.
