München-Riem
February 1979

Armée de l’Air (French Air Force),
ET 1/63 CIET Toulouse unit markings

Only six Noratlasses were converted to the RNR version with its striking radar nose. No. 171 was one of them, and here’s photographic proof that she wore code 63-VM. The aircraft was noted at Riem on 14 February 1979 and 17 May 1979.

Another RNR Noratlas, no. 114 with code 63-VJ, also visited Riem twice in 1979, on 17 May and 24 May. So we had two RNR Noratlasses on the same day that year (I haven’t seen a photo yet). The third RNR Noratlas noted at Riem in 1979 was no. 193 / 316-FU on 26 September together with Noratlas no. 203 / 328-EL.

Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Stephan Barth:
Noratlas no. 171 entered service in December 1958. It was withdrawn from use at Châteaudun, and in 2021 it was still on display there in front of the aviation museum (without dayglo, code and radar nose).
