On 3 Sep 1952 it was converted to an Expeditor 3T, and ten years later, on 19 Mar 1962, it was sold to the French Air Force, where it became N° 122, coded MT-10. There it last served with GAEL (Groupe Aérien d'Entraînement et de Liaison) and in this photo it still has their emblem on the nose. It was struck off charge on 18 May 1972 and stored at Châteaudun.
