Europa F12's Blue Streak made it to Kourou in April 1973 - for nothing, as the program was stopped at the same time. As there was no point in bringing it back to Europe it was sold for scrap to locals. Part of it ended as a chicken coop. A fate that is mostly similar to the N1 rockets being cut down with parts recycled in baikonur and elsewhere.
After the F11 (miserable) failure on November 5, 1971 Europa fate hanged in the balance for 18 months as ELDO secretary general Robert Aubinière tried to salvage it to launch the Symphonie comsats. In the end american rockets did the job but the europeans were forbidden to compete with Comsat / Intelsat, that is to use Symphonie for commercial use. This immensely pissed the french and made Ariane unstoppable, even by newly elected President Giscard, in 1974.
