Photo Comment

This Broussard is giving mixed signals. Delivered to the French AF on 31 January 1957, it was allocated callsign F-SCCB and flew with the last two letters of that as code CB on the fuselage reporting to ELA 44. But traces of another code, HM reporting to 4° Région Aérienne HQ, are also visible, resulting in spurious codes "CBHM" on this side and "CM" on the other. Serial 24 is still vaguely visible at the top of the fins. This aircraft was last noted at this location in May 2011 and had disappeared by May 2012. Given its poor condition by 2009, it was probably scrapped.
