This aircaft is operated by Air Atlantique on behalf of Thales for radar development. A jet APU can be seen fitted to the fuselage and this is used solely to power the radar equipment. An unusual vertical stabiliser is also fitted behind the tail wheel. Strange that this old aircraft, made in 1944, is used for developing advanced radar 60 years later.
