Notes:

From my collection-not taken by me, but given to me some years ago by a former work colleague, whose uncle took the photo not long after the war, whilst serving in the RAF "somewhere in southern France." In the background, a Bloch 220-a very obscure type.

I shudder looking at this photo, I HATE WINTER. Interesting though, its just after the war and Air France as a company like all the other European airline firms are in shattered disaray. But it would only take five years for Air France to reach their former glory again. Thank you for sharing this piece of history.
