This immaculate Reliant has spent its entire 80-year life in France. Delivered in 1937 to Antoine Cierplikowski (Monsieur Antoine), a world-famous celebrity hairdresser in Paris who also owned a Farman 393. Hidden in a barn during the war, it was retrieved in 1946. On 4 May 1946 it was registered to Benoît Millien, personal friend and pilot of Mr. Cierplikowski, as F-BBCS. In the mid 1970s the use of the Stinson was transferred to Jean Salis, and it was registered to him on 3 Jun 1987. In the 1990s it was restored to flying condition, and it made its first post-restoration flight on 24 Jun 1998. On 27 Jan 2000 the Reliant was re-registered as F-GJPS, still to Jean Salis.

One of six SF-260W Warriors salvaged by Raymond Frappot in Burkina Faso in 1992. They were brought to France in the years that followed and some were restored for the warbird circuit. The one seen here is ex Burkina Faso Air Force BF8421, and it is still in their markings. It was registered to Raymond Frappot as F-GMRF on 5 Jul 2006. The other five were F-GMSF (ex BF8424 c/n 502), F-GOBF (ex BF8431 c/n 116), F-GUSF (ex BF8451 c/n 440), F-GMHB (ex BF8477 c/n 358) and F-GVAB (ex BF8479 c/n 361).
