Re: Breguet Br.1050 Alizé
Some sources say that there were five preproduction prototypes, which may mean some of the prototypes were brought up to production standard and passed on to the Aéronavale; and that India acquired 17 examples, which hints that they bought five used aircraft from the Aéronavale.

The Indian Navy operated the Alizé from shore bases and from the light carrier [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The Alizé was used for reconnaissance and patrol during India's 1961 liberation of Portuguese occupied [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], and was also used for ASW patrol during the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], during which one Alizé was shot down by a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

It was also instrumental in taking out many [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] unopposed during the war.
The Alizé dwindled in numbers in the Indian Navy during the 1980s, was relegated to shore-based patrol in 1987, and was finally phased out in 1991, replaced in its duties by ASW helicopters.

The Aéronavale provided the Alizé with a series of upgrades. A modernization program performed in the early 1980s refitted 28 of the aircraft to the Br.1050M standard, featuring improved Thomson-CSF Iguane radar as used on the Atlantique NG ocean-patrol aircraft, new OMEGA radio navigation gear, and a new ARAR 12 radar and radio location ("electronic support measures / ESM") system.

Re: Breguet Br.1050 Alizé
Another upgrade program in the early 1990s fitted 24 of these aircraft with a new decoy system; a microcomputer-based data processing system that could have hardly been imagined when the aircraft was new; a
datalink system; and other new avionics.
Later in the decade, they were also fitted with the Thomson-CSF TTD Optronique Chlio forward-looking infrared (FLIR) imaging sensor.
Despite the upgrades, by this time the Alizé was clearly not up to the task of hunting modern nuclear submarines, and so it was tasked with ocean surface patrol.

Re: Breguet Br.1050 Alizé
As late as 1997, the Aéronavale was still operating 24 examples for surface patrol, though they were clearly on their way out by then.
The Alizé was used operationally during the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] in the spring of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], with the aircraft flying off the carrier Foch.
The last Alizé was finally withdrawn from service in 2000 with the retirement of the Foch.
