F-BAZJ  Lockheed  L-749 Constellation                           (c/n  2514)

                              

                                   Not ordinarily visitors to London's Heathrow (at least initially), this Connie was photographed
                                   there by Rod Brown in the mid 1950s.,  I suspect, at the time, they had replaced the Languedocs
                                   and DC-4s on Air France's routes to Nice and Marseilles after the 1049-Gs had taken over the
                                   North Atlantic operation.   F-BAZJ, named 'Vincent Auriol' was withdrawn from use and stored
                                   at Toulouse in 1969 having served its latter days with the SGAC.
