The only aircraft visible at this small regional airport in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of south-west France

This is actually serial 133

A French Noratlas hidden away in an interesting but very cramped German collection. Although it is still carrying the combined unit markings of ET 2/63 on the forward fuselage, this aircraft in fact last operated for Escadron de Convoyage 70 (EdC 70). It came to Germany in 1987 and spent some time in storage at Manching before moving on to this collection in Koblenz in 1990.

Even though still carrying the combined unit markings of ET 1/63 and ET 1/62 on the forward fuselage, this Noratlas in fact last operated for Escadron de Convoyage 70 (EdC 70). This French unit was known for its unusual codes, which often violated many rules. This particular Noratlas carried code 070-MF (should have been 70-MF), which for reasons unknown was painted on the aircraft incorrectly, as MF-070. It came to Germany in 1987 and spent some time in storage at Manching before moving on to this collection in Koblenz in 1990.

This pair of Chipmunk fuselages are amongst various "wrecks and relics" to be found in the museum at Baldonnel, alongside the preserved aircraft.
