Well Jinxman, you could start by looking here which has got plenty of pictures of Super Mysteres although not many with ground equipment http://a3ba103.free.fr/php/photos_avions_03.php some more here too http://www.frenchwings.net/combat/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=313#top_display_media again not many with ground equipment http://www.frenchwings.net/combat/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=36 http://www.frenchwings.net/combat/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=52 http://www.frenchwings.net/combat/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=58 http://www.frenchwings.net/combat/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=85 http://www.escadrilles.org/armee-de-l-air/spa-84/ http://www.escadrilles.org/armee-de-l-air/spa-89/ http://www.escadrilles.org/armee-de-l-air/spa-93/ http://www.escadrilles.org/armee-de-l-air/spa-162/ http://www.escadrilles.org/armee-de-l-air/ile-de-france/ Wez Edited March 8, 2015 by Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks Wez, Lots to look at there - I'll start trawling through them! cheers Unfortunately, most photo's taken by enthusiasts omit the Ground Servicing Equipment as unwanted clutter, your best option would be official photo's taken by service photographers or publicity units, your far more likely to see things warts and all including GSE.

onosendai Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I don't have pictures of French Mystere, but at the same time (early sixties) on this side of the Alps (Italy), drop tanks were on simple carts and installed by hand (obviously empty), nothing really technical, the loaders like Mj1 came after.

Jinxman Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks Armando and onosendai, I have the Docavia and Ouest books - I'll have another look through them - I think you're right - a simple trolly will look ok for the dio, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
