Two new inhabitants were noted during a quick visit (outside only) on August, 23th:

CM170 319 (fuselage only). The fuselage was parked near the entrance, close to the preserved Jaguar. Photography in its current state is best in the morning.

MS760 114/NJ. (dismantled). The Paris can be seen at the other side of the museum along the Rue des Pays Bas. In it's current state it is very difficult to take a picture. The entrance to the museum from the Rue des Pays Bas seems to have dissappeard including the option to park. The building seems to have changed to a new owner. Longterm storage items (T-33 and M.IIC No.43) on this side were not noted.

Are you sure about CM170 319.
C/n 319 belongs to Belgium MT-42 which crashed in 1986

Sorry for my late response: I checked my pictures again. The number "319" is painted on the rear fuselage, under the stabilo. You're correct about the c/n 319 which is a Belgian CM170, which crashed in 1986. That wreck was noted at Evere during 1987. I haven't seen any report of it since. It seems that the fuselage at Orange which is painted as "319" could be a fake serial.
