I'm not aware of a second Skyraider for sales in France, or neither a TBM ? (Edit I found for the Skyraider to be the one based in Avignon)

For the "for sales" ads, lots of airplanes are owned by peoples able to afford it as very good businessmen and who will be permanently interested to sold one of their aircrafts if an interresting offer come (Stephen Grey explained, with his well known sarcastic sense of humor, that all his collection is always for sales if someone really want a specific plane and is able / want to put the price)

Two or three years ago, the whole collection from Hangar10 was put for sales for a few months and then withdrawn: it's sometime just a way to determine the price of a plane by receiving offers.

So, I think that for every plane leaving the european skies at least one other is coming back or is in restoration, with some a short perioc of more leavers than incomes.

For an other example : few years ago, there was complain because the two flying Corsair in France where sold (One moving to Germany, the other one to the USA), few years later, an other one is flying again (Ferté-Alais) and an massive restoration project is under way for a second (Lons-Le-Saunier in the east of France)
