A feature in French at http://www.escadrilles.org/2012/10/dern ... age-f-1ct/ with several photos made while the pilots were strapped in :!:

Translation into English:

Tuesday, October 16th at 15.30, the last F-1CT Squadron, Reconnaissance 2/33 Savoie flew the airbase Mont-de-Marsan to join the BA 279 Chateaudun.

It is now 20 Mirage F-1 assigned to 2/33, including four seaters.
Mirage F-1CR still have before them a lot of flight hours (the youngest does have "only" 4000).
Nevertheless, it is planned to withdraw from operational service in 2014.
