With the demise of the Paris-South-East TGVs I thought I would dig into the past to see if I had photographed No 1 'Patrick' but alas no. (see Jean-Marc Frybourg's excellent photos of No1 making its farewell tour). The oldest one I have photographed was No 4 seen just after passing Jonqueries-St.Vincent station forming the 14.05 Montpellier to Paris service on May 13, 1989 - the first day I ever photographed a TGV.
