Loss of Potez 390 A2 No. 79

[Chris Goss]

Does anyone have a record of the loss of this ac. Possibly No. 78? With GAO 510, it was damaged but repairable on 10 May 40 but what was its ultimate fate?

Note, we have some pics for the N°79 in French Avions Magazine (Michel Ledet)
N°79 L109 GO II/54 sq4.
