There was also the air defence version the Vautour IIN, which was still in service in the mid/late 1960s. I remember being intercepted more than once by them while trundling across France in a 2- or 4-ship of Hunters at M0.8 around FL420 en route from Norfolk to Malta. The Vautours, always I think in pairs, would do their intercept using the same mil radar UHF channel that we were on, and do a barrel roll around us before departing. Quite entertaining.
