According to Agence France Presse quoting the French AF spokesperson, it was an F.1CR from EC2/33 "Savoie". It experienced a technical problem in flight, after which the pilot decided to make an emergency landing at Orléans-Bricy. When he realized he couldn't make the base, he pointed the aircraft to an uninhabited area and succesfully ejected at around 11.40 lt this morning.

233/112-QT ? That would make it an F.1CT and not an F.1CR. Anyway, a sad end for a beautiful machine :(
