It may be a replica, but Jean-Marie Garric painstakenly built his Potez 63-11 from original factory blueprints. A labor of love.

most flying warbirds could be classed as replicas anyway (so much "brand new" parts) .. either way its fantastic to see a very rare type of plane flying !!

Isn't it just.
French aircraft are so.........idiosyncratic.
It's great to see one return from the grave, as it were.
Well done those chaps!
