These photos were taken of a French navy fighter/attack Dassault Super Etendard.  I took these pictures almost ten years ago at  BAN Landivisiau (BAN means NAS in French) in north west of Britain.  This airplane is a "simple" Super Etendard. Nowadays, all aircraft are SEM (= Super Etendard Modernisé, modernized) and the cockpit layout is different with Anemone radar.  So, here we have a Super Etendard with Agave radar.  The ejection seat is a Martin Baker CM 6.
