    The Blackburn Roc was tested on floats, too.

    Here’s some french stuff, mostly not well known, but that’s, what make
    it much more interesting.
    – elegant, as the Arsenal VG-70
    – a look of brute force, as the SE.2415 Grognard
    – or even “ugly” in the eyes of many onlookers, as the SNCAC NC.1071
    And there’s hope to find pictures and infos about post-war french aviation
    more easily in the future : http://frenchaviation.populus.org

    .. and the I.Ae.33 Pulqui II in Argentina (photo from http://www.choiquehobbies.com.ar/revista/notas/ !
    He was quite busy during these years !

    But Willy Messerschmitt designed this vehicle after the war, typical for
    his designs : Small, fast and a fighter canopy !

    I wonder, what can be expected to be found there ? Ok, if an airplane crashes, it
    mostly will do so with a relatively high speed, so that a lot of parts will penetrate
    the soil. But a Zeppelin would hit the ground with a much lower speed, I think. L48
    and L33 seemed to have burned still on the ground, that means, their gasbags were
    at least partly filled with hydrogen at the moment of the crash. So probably most
    debris was on the ground, not below.
    But we’ll see, I hope for pictures in this forum !

    I think, no Criquet ever carried a rear gun, but the cabin of some of
    them had the provision for it, as you can see in the photo Papa Lima
    posted yesterday. And most of the MS.502, with Salmson radials were
    in fact re-engined MS.500. And the F-BDXM had this cabin, too,
    and it was was a re-engined MS.505 (with a Jacobs).
    But thinking logical may lead into the wrong direction here.To install a
    feature like this cabin afterwards wouldn’t make much sense, I think, but
    perhaps this aircraft should look more “war like”, for whatever reason …

    That seems to be one of the MS.500, fitted with the Argus inline engine,
    as the original Fieseler Storch and, yes, it has the cabin, I’m talking about.
    But have you ever seen this cabin on a radial powered Criquet like that ?

    Not even a handful was built, never used operationally, relatively unknown
    and, to be honest, not really a beauty !
    Nevertheless, for me one of the most interesting post war transports,
    the SNCAC NC.211 Cormoran.
    Someone, who has a drawing/picture/artist’s impression, or something
    like that of the pre-project, the even larger NC.210 ?
