Makes sense, wondered if similar happened at Blagnac, hence the question.
In France they typically stay close to the coasts of the atlantic or mediterranean where their telemetry stations are.
I guess that might apply at on occasions but FWIW the area they use south of Blagnac (e.g. where yesterday a couple of their big twins were trundling around at different times at lowish to medium level) is very much inland, over a part of France pretty much equidistant between the Med and the Atlantic.
Looks like what service they get is going to remain a mystery....
