Built in 1949. To F-BDZQ and converted to an NC858 in 1957. Withdrawn from use at Toussus-le-Noble (LFPN/ TNF) in 1959 and cancelled from the register in October 1978.

The NC.853 was powered by a Minié 4DC.30 engine. This was troublesome and this airframe was eventually converted to NC.858 standard with a Continental C90. The airliner on the right is SO.95 Corse F-BBIG. On the left is MS.474 Vanneau advanced trainer No 82 ; in the centre behind the Corse's wing, the Sud-Ouest M.2 experimental jet, F-WFDK; and on the right, SO.6020 Espadon No 02. The helicopter is a Sud-Est SE.3110 and behind the upright Breguet Deux-Ponts wing is a mock-up of the SE.2410 Grognard. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
