Complementing the Atlantique, eight Falcon 50 maritime patrol aircraft are currently in service with Flottille 24F based at the Lann-Bihoué base near Lorient. Following modifications, it seems to me that the correct designation for these jets is now simply Falcon 50M.

No 60 was built by Nord in 1969 and delivered as an Aérospatiale N.262E Frégate in February 1970 - one of the first aircraft to bear the Aérospatiale name.

A new exhibit, first noted here in December 2022, just as the Alouette III retired from service with the French navy. This was however not one of the last airframes active with Escadrille 22S. The badge worn is that of the helicopter carrier Jeanne d'Arc.

Delivered in 1978, flown here for preservation in 2020. The serial was derived from allocated British serial XZ267. Museum staff were very friendly to allow photography beyond barriers and with a tripod. Merci beaucoup!

A unique exhibit: the naval prototype of the Jaguar. The Jaguar M was set to replace the Etendard IV. Flight testing revealed that the aircraft was underpowered and unresponsive during a deck landing without afterburners, and overpowered with them turned on. The issues were probably curable, but ideally the M needed a bigger wing, and the Jaguar M was cancelled when Dassault promised that its all-French Super Etendard would work out cheaper.

A 'new' Dewoitine D.520 on display. The fuselage is that of c/n 650, which was built in Toulouse for the Vichy French air force in 1942. It was at one time converted to two-seat trainer, but has been restored as a single-seater here at Rochefort. It is painted in the markings of naval fighter squadron AC-2, which received D.520s in 1940 in anticipation of the planned D.790 carrier variant. The unit was sent to French North Africa after the fall of France under Vichy control and saw action against the Allies, despite sporting a Donald Duck badge.

In 2010, I photographed this little trainer at La Ferté-Alais, when it was still in military service. It was retired and stored by June 2015. Unfortunately is it is currently incomplete.

Belongs to a batch of 26 new-built SNB-5s, BuNos 134692 through 134717, of which 20 were supplied to the French navy in 1953 and the other six to the Dutch navy. The construction number of this preserved aircraft is questionable - it is reported to be MD-9 by an Air-Britain member. On paper c/n MD-9 is s/n 134705, which was sold as N61911 in 1973 and ended up derelict in Iceland.

Preserved near the museum gate. The zero in the construction / serial number indicates a pre-production aircraft. 5 was another airframe, written off in 1979.
