Caudron C460 replica

Back in 2009 there was talk that Tom Wathen was going to bring his Caudron replica over to France.Did this ever happen?

It was brought over to France in 2009, but additional work required by the French authorities before they would allow it to fly there precluded an appearance at La Ferte. However, it was subsequently flown at a couple of smaller fly-ins after being displayed in the static park at Le Bourget.

Now safely back home in California 🙂

Yes, she came to France and was on display at Le Bourget airshow in June 2009.
