Photo Comment

Ex N7710E (cancelled from the USCAR 15 July 1959 as exported to Madagascar), F-OBNC. The only recorded use of the VQ-M registration prefix. Owned by the well-known Mauritian pilot P.Lagesse. Reported as withdrawn from use and broken up 8 October 1970 but found by chance at this location 38 years later. The aircraft had been in store and following the death of its owner, the new owner of the property where it had been stored offered it to the restaurant owner to put on display in his grounds (along with his classic car collection), failing which he was going to dispose of it.
