Another ‘new’ aircraft to me! Would have bet my life it was a Fouga, but rather an attractive aircraft I think. Just been advertised in our Sponsor’s magazine ‘Flypast’ (if you want it).

…regarding the 2. prototype is wrong. It is not in the Berlin Luftfahrtmuseum, but in the Technik Museum Speyer
Thanks for noticing it, I have updated the page.

It’s a very nice aircraft. And the only one that flew. The one in the German museum never flew. It was restored to airworthy a few years ago and has been on sale ever since.

The information provided in the first link, regarding the 2. prototype is wrong. It is not in the Berlin Luftfahrtmuseum, but in the Technik Museum Speyer. See my pics taken there.

Although a very nice looking aircraft, the Potez Heinkel CM-191 was dropped by the French authorities in favour of the Morane Saulnier MS.760 Paris.
The Rijksluchtvaartschool in the Netherlands, which much later became the KLM Flight Academy at Groningen Airport Eelde (EHGG), acquired 7 examples of this aircraft (MS.760B Paris II) in 1962 to offer jet experience to its trainee’s.
In my initial air traffic controller training in 1965, I’ve made 7 flights in those beautiful machines.
1965 Groningen Airport Eelde (EHGG)
1968 Beek Airport (EHBK) in the Netherlands (nowadays called Maastricht-Aachen Airport)
