Belongs to a batch of 26 new-built SNB-5s, BuNos 134692 through 134717, of which 20 were supplied to the French navy in 1953 and the other six to the Dutch navy. The construction number of this preserved aircraft is questionable - it is reported to be MD-9 by an Air-Britain member. On paper c/n MD-9 is s/n 134705, which was sold as N61911 in 1973 and ended up derelict in Iceland.
