Forty Meteor NF.11 night fighters served with EC 30 at Tours from 1953-57. This aircraft wears the yellow dart insignia of the EPNER test pilot school. Original serial reported as WM301 or WM382.

The array of Mirages at Savigny-lès-Beaune includes this machine, labelled as the Mirage IIIO01 (three Oscar zero one), which was flown with a Rolls-Royce Avon engine. Australia eventually opted for the standard Atar engine in its Mirage IIIOs. This aircraft was later modified to be Mirage 3E '03' and used by CEV for aerial refueling trials.

Ouragan No 230, preserved with a fake serial.

The lord of the castle's aviation hobby got a bit out of hand.

Delivered to the Danish air force as a Meteor NF.11, H-512, in 1953. Converted to TT.20 and taken over by target towing company Svensk Flygtjanst as SE-DCF in 1962. The Republic of Biafra tried to buy this jet in the late 1960s.

Ended up in France at Savigny-lès-Beaune Castle.

Essentially a swept-winged Ouragan, the Mystère II could break Mach 1 in a dive, but was quickly superseded by the more advanced Mystère IV.

Actually Serial no 1 of the French Navy in fictitious marks

A very attractive recent restoration. I have written to the Museum to try to obtain the real identity, as the one displayed is probably false, but without a reply. It is ex Danish Air Force F-977 and thus 51-5977
