Low speed flyaway of 431with flaps down. It is not sure
that this aircraft did a long stay with Flotille 25F
before to be withdrawn because I only found its existence
in the inventory of the Lann-Bihoué sister unit 23F
which flew P2V-6 from 1953 to 59, next P2V-7 until 1961
when receiving Bréguet Atlantics, unit having then a
detachment in the Pacific nuclear test sites. Interesting
is the fact that just above the French Navy roundels a
dorsal turrett with two machine-guns may be installed
after removal of a glazed panel.
