The problem with the Tu-22M3 is it is devoid of an ashtray.
Remember seeing a P2V7 flying over Arromanches in 1970 (althought young I was already a good spotter).
After research it was from Flotille 25F that used it from 1958 to 1983.
These were not Free French units, but former Vichy bomb groups that were retrained and engaged with the RAF in England on heavy bomber. In fact, after the Dakar attack, GB II/23 raised several retaliation raids against Gibraltar on september 25 and 26, 1940.
