What plane is that in the background?

Hi,
It's possible that its a Sud Aviation Caravelle (it may be possibly the plane shown in the video from 2015 below, but showing more signs of aging [OY-SAG] or the plane shown in the flikr link below).

That certainly does look like the one.

Hard to deny it, I would have guessed a prop liner as the space on the wing lead me to believe that. Anyway, well done! Was curious and never would have gotten it.

Hi,
I have to admit I cheated a little. By doing a Google image search I was able to find out it was from a Facebook account for something called the Gendarmerie de Merville, or something similar. So I did a regular Google search for Aviation Museums and stuff like that in the region of Merville France, and eventually found a picture of a plane that looked promising.

Either way, thanks!

I agree +1

Here's one in action (pic courtesy of Wikipedia)...

...in service from 1959 to 2005.

Quite the ground breaking aircraft from what I understand

Nice looking machine. Here's a SABENA example on display in Brussels.
