Sud Est SO-95 Corse

Sud Est SO-95 Corse on 10-10-1963, the only Corse I ever saw, as this was a day stop.

We had a number of visits by Corse but they arrived at 07.00 on a short stops. I believe they usually brought in a French admiral, who used to visit our Governor of the time, who was ex Navy.
