Our photographer also took the following photos of an ESA Columbus laboratory mockup at the air show, I'll leave it to you to guess his motivation

I know ESA is looking for new astronaut candidates but are regulation flight suit zips supposed to be that low?
Tomorrow you can expect a different sort of pretty picture with blog postings from the start of the IAA symposium on private human access to space, being held here in Arcachon this week
