Thank you all very, very much for all the nice remarks made. The reactions by far outweigh my expectations because I wasn't sure if all this French stuff could be of interest on a British forum.
Herbert, I am sorry but I did not scan any other Phantom from this trip. The one posted was a lucky shot actually. But all the others were too high to photograph with a 55mm lens. The same limitation played a role the next day at Nancy-Ochey. There I saw 29 Mystere 4A's of the 7th Escadre but all were far too high for a picture. Luckily 'portes ouvertes' in the early seventies gave me the opportunity to photograph them.
Punkrunner62, if you were the guy in the T-shirt of 301?FS at the Travelodge, yes I had the pleasure of meeting you there. Maybe again at Lossiemouth in October during Joint Warrior?
Kind regards,
Arnold
