Allegedly photographed on its way from Cyprus to the Suez Canal Zone during operation Musketeer / Mousquetaire on 5 or 6 November 1956. However, a very similar photo of Noratlas No 72 / 64-KL was taken during parachuting training over Algeria, apparently in the same month. This aircraft, No 69 / 64-KM, did deploy to Tymbou, Cyprus - wearing Suez invasion stripes on the tailbooms that are missing here. Officially, ET 64 was not raised at Le Bourget until 1 December 1956. Photo by: Paul Corcuff / ECPAD
