| 75 | BI+XA, DI+XA | It was ferried in Luftwaffe markings BI+XA from St. Nazaire to Travemünde by Uffz. Helmut Steckel. The ferrying took place between 17 March 1941 and 10 April 1941, covering the route St. Nazaire-Brest South- Boulogne-Amsterdam-Travemünde. On 15 July 1941 it was test-flown at E-Stelle Travemünde by Flugkapt. Mlodoch. It was also test-flown by Leut. Paul Metges but because of quick overheating of the engine during taxiing, it was found to be unsuitable. The exact identity of this Loire 130 is not known, but most likely it was a machine taken over from the St. Nazaire repair works. | |

| 10 | During the Occupation, the construction of an additional lot of Loire 130 was authorized by Germany to equip the army with the Vichy government. These planes were built in Saint-Nazaire (in the occupied zone). From there they were transferred in flight to Bricklayer, in the free zone, in the hands of the house pilots, but under the German colors. These flights were carried out under three different codes, taken up by successive: +10, +11 and +12. As soon as they are taken into account by the Vichy teams, Occupant marks, painted with an easily erasable paint, were immediately replaced by tricolor cockades. |
