Inside the hangar after Duxford Autumn Airshow 2013. This H75-C1 was delivered in April 1939 to l'Armée de l'Air. It formed part of Groupe de Chasse II/5 "La Fayette" based at Reims, which was made up of 3ème Escadrille "La Fayette" carrying the Sioux chief emblem from WWI, and SPA 167 "Cigognes." The group was the second to be equipped with the H75 Hawk after GC I/5. GC II/5 was credited with 47.5 confirmed victories that included 24 Bf-109s, and another 23 probable victories during the Battle of France before moving to North Africa with this H75 to join L'Armée de l'Air de Vichy.
