My first visit to the Paris Airshow at Le Bourget was in 1965!
Atatched some shots from the latest types shown.......
I believe it was the only time the HP-115 was on display outside the UK.
B-58 Hustler bomber made a speed record flight from the US.
On the next event in 1967 the Hustler made a spectacular and fatal crash just outside the airfield premises.

B-58 remained on the static show and was unfortunately not flown during the public visiting days.

Do you know which version was the Saab 32?

The 1965 catalogue (yes, I still have it!) did not mention which Lansen version it was, but most likely it was the A-32. Are you interested in 'years fifties' bound volumes of the periodical SAAB Sonics? If so, contact me by E-mail. I have two of them in the 2nd hand bookshop. I can check which years next Tuesday///
