Amiot 143 Has a Little Unknown Companion – Please Name It

Hi all,

I could not identify this little aircraft standing beside an Amiot 143. It is surely French too, I mean to see a tricolore up on the tailfin.

Please tell the name, if you know it.

Thank you, and best regards,
RT

Hi MM,

wow, wonderful picture! Thank you for it and identifying the aircraft. I haven’t been at shu-aero’s for a while, I have to admit. A longer while… looks I need to go there when I can…

Thanks again, and best regards,

Hi RT,

I believe it’s the Desennis AS.1 L’Esperance of the Aero Club of Valenciennes. I’ve also seen the name written Desinnis – not sure which is correct. I can’t find much information about it on the web but I assume it falls into the “avionette” class.

A Mignet HM.8 or one of the many derivatives therefrom?
