Really F-BASS which was built for Air France in 1953, then in 1964 transferred to the French Air Force for long-distance transport duties which included support for French nuclear testing in the South Pacific. Retired in 1967 and became "Restaurant Le Bréguet" here at Fontenay, but long since abandoned. The only surviving civil example of the Br.763 Deux Pont, while two Br.765s are also preserved in France.
