Low altitude tactical flight.

Later rebuilt to flying condition and flown as French AF 90 coded 2, registered as F-ZWVB. It was destroyed on 23 July 1986 in a fatal accident at Vannes.

Unmarked, ex Swiss Air Force J-277, later stored at Dugny. This aircraft was apparently used as the pattern prototype for the Swiss EKW D-3801 licence-built derivative.

Later displayed with false marks N.556.

First flown on 2 March 1953, the first prototype of a series of mixed-power supersonic aircraft intended as interceptors. Around twelve were built, but the program was cancelled in July 1957 despite promising performance being achieved. Only the one aircraft was preserved, displayed at the Musee de l'Air since 1956.

Registered as F-BGMQ, painted in French Air Force markings worn in service.

The Potez 63 in its basic form was a three-seat fighter, crewed by a pilot, a gunner and a commander who was supposed to direct formations of single-seat fighters. The initial Potez 630 version suffered from unreliable Hispano-Suiza 14Ab engines and was relegated to training duties.

The quality of the image/scan made the serial of this aircraft unreadable. The 540 was one of several slab-sided bombers developed in France before World War II. Called the Flying Coffin by Spanish Republicans, it was relegated to the colonies and second-line duties by the time the war started. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland
