The March 1977 issue of Air Classics had a very good article on that Mustang.
The paint scheme on your picture should look like this, Mark:

Hello,
I recently had the opportunity to go through an old stock of posters our association had been selling in the past, and I came accross this picture:
Althought the serial is partly hidden, it looks like to be ML796.
Maybe it is too late for you, unfortunately.

Looks like they are Invaders:

This one is not a flyer, it is one of the two C-47s that the Musée de l’Air has in outdoor storage, and that was repainted for a recent display. I have a picture of this plane taken last year, and the S/N on the tail is probably the correct one:
I think I was told several years ago that this plane served in Indochina with the Armée de l’Air.
The other C-47 in storage served withe the Aéronautique Navale, and there is no plan to restore it for the moment.
A few more pics:

Hello,
Had a little time to check in my files, and I have found a few pictures of the Vautour II B n°634 that was restored between 1998 and 2002 at Le Bourget Air and Space Museum. I realize that I never took pictures of the finished airframe (I’m more props than jets….), and I am not going to be able to do so soon as the plane is no longer on public display, after it (along with many other airframes) had to make room for the new Concorde received last summer, under the Concorde Hall, that now only houses 2 Condordes and a Mirage IV (there is a lot of room for more airframes, but….).
Anyway, here are the pictures:
The plane after 18 years of outdoor storage:
A couple of months later:
and the finished cockpit two years later:
I thought I had also taken a picture of the bombardier position, but could not find it (if I have ever taken it).
Hope you will like them.
Cheers,
Laurent
