Information from flickr - thanks to Falcon® Photography:
Noratlas number 188 was accepted by the French Air Force on January 19, 1960, and assigned to CIET 340 in Toulouse as 340-HB. It was involved in an accident in Toulouse in July 1961 during a flight as part of the Guimauve patrol, then underwent repairs from March to December 1963. It immediately returned to service with ET 3/62 "Sahara" (62-SB) until April 1964, then with 2/63 "Bigorre" (63-BU) until its transformation into a "flying class" version for radio navigator (RN) training by the Atelier Industriel de l'Aéronautique from March 1968 to June 1969. It was then assigned to GE 316 (316-FS) until December 1978, then to ET 1/63 CIET Toulouse (63-VO) until its storage at Châteaudun in August 1981. It returned to GE 316 (again 316-FS, F-TEFS) in February 1982, before finally being withdrawn from service in January 1986 and stored at Châteaudun. It was retired on December 2, 1986 with 9,100 flying hours.

The aircraft has been preserved at Conservatoire de l'Air et de l'Espace d'Acquitane (CAEA), Bordeaux-Merignac, France.
