PP972 in a 'wired off compound' at Base Aeronavale 83 Gâvres, near Lorient, parked alongside a derelict Bloch 175T. It was first seen by Jean Frelaut during 1965 and in 1970 he managed to buy it at scrap value — the Bloch was scrapped on the same day — and his team of enthusiasts moved it to the aerodrome at Vannes-Meucon. To Doug Arnold, UK in 1988 for restoration at Biggin Hill. Registered G-BUAR in January 1992. Photo by Jean Frelaut
