This photograph showcases the Nord N-2501 Noratlas 29 (msn 29) of the French Air Force, assigned to 61st Transport Squadron (61-QP), standing proudly on gate guardian duties at Orleans-Bricy Air Base in 1991. The Nord Noratlas, a versatile and iconic turboprop transport aircraft, was produced by Nord Aviation between 1954 and 1963. This particular Noratlas, with its distinctive red and blue livery, served as a vital asset for the French military, transporting troops, cargo, and even paratroopers during various missions. The image captures the essence of the aviation world, with the Noratlas' powerful engines idling softly in the background, the meticulously maintained aircraft gleaming under the sun, and the lush greenery of the air base providing a picturesque contrast. The photograph also highlights the intricate details of the Noratlas' design, from its large cargo doors to its distinctive tail fin. The Nord Noratlas played a significant role in the French military's aeronautical history, and this photograph serves as a testament to its enduring legacy. The image not only showcases the aircraft's impressive capabilities but also evokes a sense of pride and nostalgia for the era of military aviation. This photograph, taken from The Tony Lovelock Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff, offering a unique glimpse into the past and the rich history of military transport aircraft.
