Folded Franc

With her wings in the stowed position, Aeronavle (French Navy) Breguet Alize, No.56 on static display at the IAT held at RAF Greenham Common in July 1983.

 

Like the Royal Navy's Fairey Gannet the Alize was used for carrier-based anti-submarine warfare but managed to stay in service up until at least the late 1990's.

 

My trusty Flickr Friend ƒliçkrwåy www.flickr.com/photos/86182676@N00 tells me that one such example has just been put back in flying condition. Let's hope she graces our airshow circuit with her presence soon.

 

Update: here's a shot of No.59 airborne again
