Breguet Deux-Ponts at Evreux

On our way home from holiday we happened to pass near by Evreux air base, so I decided to be nosy and look over the fence.

Parked near the main gate was a lovely (?) old Deux-Ponts (or is it a Sahara or Provence?) . I can't post a photo as I haven't made enough posts before , but there are plenty of photos on the web.

I remember Air France occasionally flew them on cargo flights into Heathrow in the early '70s. A rare spot even then, to see one climb out close to our house. Does anyone else recall seeing them then?

PS I don't recommend being nosy around air bases ... my work colleague many years ago spent several months in a shared cell in a Greek prison, for a bit of plane spotting in the wrong place, wrong time.
