LE BOURGET
wings are A and E. Switch the A in LABOUR (effort) for the E, add GET for land (fish, contract) and touchdown!.

19. The wings of aeroplane are "a" and "e"
Labour = effort + to land = get
Switch the "a" in labour to "e"?

This seems to be a switch of the "A" (one end of
"aeroplane" with "E" , which is on the other end.
Therefore LABOUR (effort) + GET (to land), becomes
"Le Bourget".
