Photo Comment

First flown on 2 March 1953, the first prototype of a series of mixed-power supersonic aircraft intended as interceptors. Around twelve were built, but the program was cancelled in July 1957 despite promising performance being achieved. Only the one aircraft was preserved, displayed at the Musee de l'Air since 1956.
