Third Deux-Ponts, second Br.761S. Registered on 27 February 1952, this press photo marked 28 February and aircraft delivered to Air Algérie one day later again, the 29th, for trials - note that Algeria was then still an overseas area of France. Only freight was carried on a Toulouse - Algiers - Oran route until type certification was achieved and it became F-BASL. During the summer of 1953, Silver City Airways leased it for use on their Hamburg - Berlin route. It was in French air force service by late 1955 as s/n 2, later 102, call sign F-RABP. Retired in 1963, civil reg not stricken until 1964.
