Le Bourget museum storage

Post by ehusmann »

During the Le Bourget airshow this Friday 19 June, we decided to check out the museum storage hangars next to the normal hangars (at this location). There are two next to each other and the left one (when standing in front of them) did not provide any opportunities, but the right one did. Due to excessive rust there were big holes in the bottom of the doors and a pretty clear view could be obtained. Below is what we managed to identify.
c/n 9		Bernard 191Br		
F-ZWVE		Br.1001			
763		Canberra B.6			
F-PYFT		LC-6		
334/33-CE	Mirage 3RD			
617/4-BE	Mirage 3E			
144		SA.321G			
1797/BBG	SA.318			
F-ZBAN		SA.319B
Furthermore at least a Meteor and a Fouga (possible a CM.173 Super Fouga) fuselage.
The Canberra was read as 165, but must have been the one mentioned. The Bernard is a little weird. I wasn't aware of a second one besides the nr 2 that is in the museum. The tail read "SAB191Br 9", hence I think it is the nr 9, but a correction would be very much appreciated.
