Great pictures! Those must be the only ones of their kind in existence!

Do you know if the Hawk 75 retains the old French reverse throttle?

Thanks.

Yes. Once, there was also a restored Dewoitine 520, sadly crashed some
20 years ago, killing its pilot, Cdt Bove.

I have heard that it was equipped like the others (pull to decrease,
push to increase) for safety reasons, in a more standard way (the only
concession to authenticity)

I had absolutely no idea that there were flying examples of either of these
aircraft. Just amazing, but also sobering that such rare birds are at risk
each tiime they go aloft.
