The restoration of this ex-ALAT H-21 was finally completed in mid-2024 having been accomplished in stages since 1992. It was operational from 1956 to 1959, withdrawn from service in 1960 like all French H-21s, stored in Angers and then transferred to the museum at Rochefort in May 1992 in the Aéronavale 31F.8 livery This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
