Aéronautique Navale SE3210 Super Frelon

Introduced in early 1966 as a heavy duty anti-submarine helicopter, used additionally in support of the French nuclear submarine fleet, after its ASW role was assumed by the Lynx. By 1988 there were 18 still in use and by 2000, less than 10. They are due to be replaced by the NH-90 around 2005.
The last flight of the SA321G was at Lanveoc on April 30, 2010
