A French Navy Breguet Atlantic ATL2 (12) was tracke this morning around 09:00 CET over southern France. When the aircraft left the French airspace we’ve lost the signal.
This afternoon, around 16:30 CET the aircraft is appeared again this time off southern France coast in flight northbound (probably landing in Istres AB).

We don’t know how the aircraft spent its time in these 6 hours the aircraft but in the past we’ve tracked French Navy Atlantic making ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) missions over central Mediterranean sea off Libya.

On 17 december we’ve tracked the same aircraft at the same place.
