Breguet 1150 Atlantic maritime patrol aircraft (two 6,105 ehp Hispano-built Rolls-Royce Tyne RTy.20 turboprop engines)

Breguet 1150 Atlantic in French Navy colours. First flight was on 21st October and the type is expected to be ordered by Belgium, Holland and West Germany as well as France, which has already placed a contract for twenty-seven aircraft

Br.1150 Atlantic No 57 was one of six formerly flown by the Dutch Navy. This earlier type can be distinguished from the ATL.2 by the fin-tip pod, and lack of FLIR turret under the nose and ESM pods on the wing tips.

The Atlantic lines up on the "piano keys" at Farnborough the day before the tragic events of September 20. Saint-M’Leux was also at the controls for this display, in which he stuck to the plan, although it was later suggested that comments had been made to him by another member of the team after the Thursday display that it seemed to be too far from the crowd to gain the full effect of the routine.

The Aeronavale’s only operational land-based type is the Atlantic maritime patrol aircraft, serving in four Flottilles. Replacement by the Nouvelle Generation Atlantique is in hand, but service entry will not begin until 1990, in Flottilles 23F and 24F at Lann-Bihoue.

With Capitaine de Corvette Jean Saint-M’Leux at the controls in the right-hand seat, Atlantic “43” is positioned before take-off on its final flight. The pilot opted to take what is customarily the copilot’s seat as the display routine included mostly turns to starboard, for which the right-hand seat would provide better visibility from the cockpit.

With the propeller of its port Rolls-Royce Tyne engine feathered, and the undercarriage extended, Aeronavale Breguet Atlantic serial “43” was captured by the author performing its final, fatal display routine on September 20, 1968. Moments later the aircraft lost all flying speed and sideslipped into the Black Sheds at the eastern end of Farnborough’s runway.

The Atlantic begins its turn to starboard after lifting off from the Farnborough runway. The type bristled with electronic equipment for its maritime patrol role; note the distinctive magnetic-anomaly detector (MAD) tailboom.

С 1975 года Atlantic являлся основным морским разведывательным самолетом ВМС Франции, в настоящее время эту роль выполняет усовершенствованный Atlantique 2.

Taken during one of the preceding days’ displays, this photograph shows the Atlantic with its undercarriage retracted and with its bomb­bay doors open and forward-fuselage radome extended, as per the planned routine. During the Friday display the undercarriage remained down throughout, the radome was never extended and the bomb-bay doors were not opened. It appears that by this point on the Friday, Saint-M’Leux had all but abandoned the planned routine and was already struggling with an aircraft that was lower and slower than it should have been, with its pair of Tynes delivering asymmetric amounts of power.

40 Atlantic поступили на вооружение 21-й и 22-й флотилий авиации ВМС Франции в 1965-1966 годах, а в 23-ю и 24-ю флотилии - в 1967-1968 годах. Самолеты Atlantic ВМС Франции на ротационной основе базировались в Дакаре, Сенегал.

Probably taken during the same display as the previous photograph, this image shows the Atlantic with its undercarriage extended and the port propeller feathered during its first run along the turn-safety line after take-off.
