K25 slide scan. Caravelle prototype, first flight 27 May 1955 from Toulouse as F-WHHH. Reregistered F-BHHH 23 May 1956, final flight 16 April 1966 to Orly. Put on display initially in Air France colours, later repainted as Air Inter and finally as Aérport de Paris alongside Concorde 02 F-WTSA. When the collection had to be moved due to airport expansions the Concorde was relocated to the Musée Delta but the probably historically more important Caravelle was scrapped in October 1986.
