Amazingly, the little Jodel D140R glider tug celebrated its 50th anniversary in the French air force in 2016, and this Abeille received a well-deserved special paint scheme. It is seen departing after an airshow at Bordeaux - Mérignac. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
