Extra windows, white top decking and French Army Air Force markings have been added to this Breguet Br.761-S Deux-Ponts, believed to be ex F-WASK. The central fin shape differs from that of the Air France Br.763 Provences.

Среди первых Deux Ponts ВВС Франции были эти три транспортных самолета Br.761S, поступивших на вооружение эскадрильи ЕТ2/61 (позже ЕТ2/64). Самолеты использовались, прежде всего, для перевозки войск в Алжир.
The three pre-production aircraft reverted to military use in 1955 and were followed by six of the former Air France machines in 1964. Four new military models designated 765 Sahara were built for the Armee de l'Air 1958, a much larger order having been cancelled when production was already under way. While the 761 prototype had four Gnome-Rhone 14R-4/5 engines of 1,590 hp each, all other variants used Pratt & Whitney R-2800s producing up to 2,434 hp on take-off in the case of the model 763. The photo shows the three model 761S aircraft c/ns 01 to 03, ex F-WASK, L and M, in military use with Escadron de Transport 2/64 as 64-PA, PB and PD.

The production 763 Provence commenced with twelve for Air France, with c/n 4 F-BASQ (shown) being delivered to the airline in 1953 and converted to a freighter in 1965, for which purpose the clamshell rear loading doors made it particularly suitable.

Шесть Br.763 авиакомпании "Air France" переоборудовали в грузовой вариант Universel, хотя самолеты сохранили возможность перевозить небольшое количество пассажиров. Большая грузовая дверь в хвостовой части фюзеляжа позволяла загружать в самолет крупногабаритные грузы и выгружать их прямо в кузова автомобилей.

In the centre of this view, the Breguet G11E helicopter had two contra-rotating three-blade rotors and a tailplane mounted atop a single tall fin. It had a long fuselage with streamlined nose and a fixed spatted undercarriage. Its 240 hp 9-cyl Potez 9E radial engine was not yet fitted and during the Show the rotors were turned over slowly by a 4 hp electric motor. Breguet's helicopter experience went back to 1907 when the Breguet-Richet helicopter became the first to lift itself off the ground, although it was not able to fly forward under control. Three prototypes of the G11E were built but it did not go into production. One of them, F-WFKC is preserved in the Musee de l'Air.
Top left of the group is SNCAN Norecrin retractable undercarriage cabin tourer monoplane F-BBKC and inset is F-BBBO, the Nord 1201-01 prototype. Originally a 2-seater, F-BBBO was soon flying with four up and 1201 c/n 4 F-BBKC was made into the 1203-01 prototype 4-seater with 135 hp Regnier 4LO 4-cyl inverted in-line engine with a normal rating of 145 hp at 2350 rpm. The Norecrin shows its relationship to the Me 108 which was built in France during the war, and to the tricycle Me 208 developed from it and built as the Nord 1101 Noralpha, also on display as F-BBCM c/n 8. The Norecrin was very successful and over 400 were produced. Nord 1203 c/n 373 F-BICY is preserved in the Musee de l'Air.
Top right and inset is the SE.2100 "tailless" monoplane prototype, a very neat side-by-side cabin 2-seater with a fixed tricycle undercarriage. The 140 hp Renault 4Pei 4-cyl inverted in-line engine was mounted as a direct drive pusher with a 2-blade Legere propeller. Some problems were experienced with the engine cooling air supply from the underside intake. The wing had endplate fins and rudders, 30° sweep, and plain flaps occupied the trailing edge space inboard of the ailerons. It was built for aerodynamic research but afterwards it was proposed to develop it for private owner use. However, it seems this came to nothing, perhaps because the limited cabin space which, while suitable for experimental use, might have been considered cramped for travel and leisure. The SE.2100 was shown unregistered.
The model prominently displayed in the foreground with false registration F-AJOQ was of the 141 ft span Breguet 761 Deux Ponts (two decks) which soon filled the spot vacated by the Cormoran with the same engines. First prototype F-WFAM first flew on 1.3.49. Production 763 Provence aircraft had P&W R-2800-CA18 2400 hp 14-cyl 2-row radial engines and 12 civil and 15 military examples were built.

Самолеты Br.763, официально известные как Provence, а неофициально - Deux Ponts (двухпалубный), в качестве пассажирских эксплуатировались авиакомпанией "Air France" совсем недолго, после чего были конвертированы в грузовые. На верхней палубе в пассажирском варианте размещались 59 человек, кресла были установлены по пять в ряд, на нижней палубе - 48 человек (по четыре в ряд). Лестница между верхней и нижней палубами имелась в обоих концах салонов.
