Is that a third engine on the side of that Puma?

this is a AS332 SUPER PUMA also named AS532 COUGAR for military Customer. on the left side there is an air conditionning system located in this ugly boxe. this is a modification for VIP transport. near each air filters you have a small fan, and in the middle air entry for oïl cooling system. all from memory.

In future, have the parts shipped to France (for instance) & then forwarded. France doesn’t charge import duty/tax etc as the parts are just passing through.. & the UK doesn’t charge because the parts “came from France”.

& yes, this system works, it has done for years.:cool:

stupid, if you ship to France you need to show an adress, so VAT, duty plus cost of forwardind in France too. so for all my Professional import I know I will pay between 2.5 to 5% for freight and 20ù for VAT.

do you want a scan of the good pages of the magazine? need a mail adress. to my knowledge parts will be on show in the new aeroscopia museum in toulouse Blagnac in 2015 and some parts will go to a german museum too.

I have seen a prospector in the hangar of Rouseeau Aviation at DINARD in 1971 or 1972. no idea of the registration. Strange discovery. at that time there was still a good number of gipsy engines in stock (stock clear now) used on Fokker D VII replicas build by RA . no trace of the spitfire owned by C rousseau, back to UK.
The day of my visit was the day of the crash of a RA N262 FBNMO. bad day, bad ambiance.

When I was there last week, these were the words being used about his S-38. He had been after it for years, out of reach, had a flight in it with owner and pulled off a deal.

I heard the same last week at Polk with Kermit speaking near his mustang. nice quick presentation, surprised he is now in the books for kids, why not.

The Morane-Sauliner Aircraft Factory at Puteaux, France, was taken over in 1942 for the production of the Fieseler Fi.156 Storch(Stork). After the war production continued with the aircraft being known as the MS-500 Criquet and fitted with various engine combinations.

Serial No. 338, the one at Duxford and built post war, was a MS-502 model with a 230hp Salmson 9AB radial engine. After it arrived at Duxford in 1983 the Salmson radial engine was replaced with a German Argus AS10 engine.

was a MS505 model with a jacob radial engine and the jacob was replace with an argus AS10 engine. I do not believe salmson engine were still existing in 1980 on MS500.

Does anyone know what engines it’s using?

yes, two 6 cylinders from lyco or conti, previously used if I rememeber well on a aerocommander 580 (or similar number). I have a small doubt about the a/c type, because I believe the replica breguet 14 at toulouse is also equipped with the same engine from same type of aircraft, so a doubt on original a/c. sorry.
