German Navy retires its last Atlantic

Breguet atlanticThe German Navy retired its last Breguet Br.1150 Atlantic maritime reconnaissance aircraft at Nordholz on June 20 with an open day and flypast.

The Atlantic has been operated by 1 Staffel of Marinefliegergeschwader 3 (MFG-3) since the 1960s and the last aircraft, 61+03, was accompanied by three Sea Lynx helicopters as it made its last touchdown.

The Atlantic has been replaced by eight P-3C Orions purchased from the Netherlands a few years ago.
