Hi everyone,

Last week I was there with my family in Southern France and I've visited the BA115 and museum in town.

At the gate of BA115 I saw there the following:
Mystere B2 121/5-OL

Mirage 3C 38/5-OC
Mystere 4A 68/5-NI (89)
CM-170 563 as 34/5-MD

No mirage F1 or Vampire. One pole was empty.

At the overside of the base you have good sight of the base. You can see the dumped mirage at the overside.
Mirage 3RD 361/33-TJ.

Thanks for the log! Your Mirage 3RD should be 363, not 333. You have also listed 363 as a Mirage 3E.
Can you confirm the code of MS.760 91?

[Sukhoi22]

Hi Patrick,

The code of the MS. 760 can I confirm. The code could you read from the road. The mirage 3 I've read as 333 on the tail with code 33-TL.

The Mirage is for sure 363

T-33 fuselage, code painted over, possibly 314-TP or 314-YP

I suspect this will be 21009/314-YP, ex Vannes.
Vannes seem to be disposing of several of their aircraft.

Andy,

I can confirm that the T-33 is indeed 21009/314-YP. Yesterday I noticed the tail inside one of the hangars. Other items (under restoration) in the hangars were:
CM175 (12)
RF-84F

Greetings, Erik
