Yes, it does appear to be F-AYMS (ex F-BGJT/G-AVEB/N230EB/G-AVEB/N230ET) which at Compeigne on 16 June apparently was:

‘Caught by a violent gust of wind whilst landing yesterday, the Morane Saulnier MS.230 of the Association of Flying Machines ended its [landing] run in some machinery (?), causing damage to the wings, to the engine, to the undercarriage and to the fuselage. Luckily, the pilot Frédéric Collinot was not injured. The machine has been dismantled and will be restored to condition by the CMV’
