Rarely seen French Transport hulks

Two more scanned images from my collection.
Here are the C130 Hercules and C160 Transall fuselages used by DGA Toulouse as cargo / airdrop load mock-ups. The facility is very close to the centre of the city and I’d have loved to see them being towed through the streets (yes I know they move bits of the A380 by road but not through the city centre).

The Transall is, if I recall correctly, one of the prototypes nad apart from a working cargo floor is pretty well gutted.

The Herc is like the Transall, gutted apart from the crago floor. Only the fuselage was acquired from the States so it must have been quite a logistic exercise to get it to Tolouse.
