Ex N7710E, F-OBNC. This aircraft bears the only recorded use of the VQ-M registration prefix. Although reported as withdrawn from use and broken up 8 October 1970, it had been found at this location 38 years later, it having been offered to the restaurant owner to display in his grounds. He admitted to knowing nothing about aircraft but had accepted the offer and had re-assembled it as best he could. By the date of this visit, some further work had been carried out, it now had a tailplane and elevator, the cowlings had been reattached and a propeller (of sorts) fitted, albeit still engineless.
