One of six SF-260W Warriors salvaged by Raymond Frappot in Burkina Faso in 1992. They were brought to France in the years that followed and some were restored for the warbird circuit. The one seen here is ex Burkina Faso Air Force BF8421, and it is still in their markings. It was registered to Raymond Frappot as F-GMRF on 5 Jul 2006. The other five were F-GMSF (ex BF8424 c/n 502), F-GOBF (ex BF8431 c/n 116), F-GUSF (ex BF8451 c/n 440), F-GMHB (ex BF8477 c/n 358) and F-GVAB (ex BF8479 c/n 361). Of these only this F-GMRF and F-GMHB were still current in France by Aug 2020. This photo is copyright © Aad van der Voet, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
