On June 8,
1940, the Breguet 691 No 57 crashes by accident during a training
flight : At take-off, Sergeant BELOGROTE, a young pilot just
out of the Istres School, has switched his propeller from low
pitch to high pitch too quickly, thus choking his engines :
the aircraft crashes to the ground.
The unreliable Breguet 691 No57 was in the process of being
reformed. Sergeant BELOGROTE asked to make a last test, and
asked that the machine gunner be replaced by sandbags. Sergeant
BELOGROTE was the only victim of the accident.
At the time of his burial, his comrades flew over the Church
and the cemetery for a last homage...
