Normally a gate guard here, this well-kept Seabat was put on display at the Lanvéoc airshow. Fake serial No 129 is worn on the other side; but this is really No 7, from Sikorsky c/n 581007. The helicopter was assembled by Sud with c/n SA50. This was the last of 50 S-58s supplied to France in parts. Later airframes by Sud where wholly manufactured by them, and do not have Sikorsky construction numbers.
