F-BHRE at London Airport in the

Gradidge shot. I flew in this Caravelle, named "Arois" many times in the early
1970s from
LHR to Lyon, with the
occasional diversion to Grenoble when Bron was socked in (as it often
was
during the winter).
Originally built as a Mark 1 and converted to Mark 3 status, it served
Air France
faithfully from July of 1959 until its withdrawal from use on 1 March
1980.
