Like this Dynali H2 at Blois, which has interchangeable W and P. I recall that Autogyro F-PFTA got a W over the P later – maybe due to too quick painting before the papers were done!

The F-W series is for prototypes or aircraft not yet fully registered in the F-B series and is a sort of factory registration (carried by Airbus aircraft, for example, while awaiting delivery and for flight testing). F-B is the final registration given when a full C of A is obtained. Very early French registrations were in the F-A series. There are also F-P for homebuilts, F-C for gliders, F-J for ULMs and various others too. Recent registrations are in the F-G series, F-O is overseas, F-Z government (eg military or gendarmes or fire fighters) and so on. Historic series is F-AZ.

Petrel

I too checked Aviafrance of course and, as you say, they only give the Petrel, 1937, 4 seat low wing touring monoplane, but with TWO 90 hp Renault engines. One only bulit.

A sort of Super Cri-Cri???
It remains a mystery to me.

Fooled me, as usual. Not in my Green of 1965.
Not sure about SETCA.
Here is another photo.

Talking about magnifying glasses, is it just me or can the thumbnail not be enlarged?

Pagan: you may be right. I am at the moment in the National Archives researching the crash of a Wellington in 1943, and took the opportunity of searching 7 sqd’s Operations Records Books. I admit that I can find no reference to them going to Kenya, although all their ops in Malaya are reported. So I guess that either my (and Jim’s) recollections are a bit wide of the mark, or maybe what you suggest could be true. I think it is clear that 7 did not play a major role against the Mau Mau.

I especially like the two Flamants in formation. We had another Flamant at the Lausanne show the same day, but sadly it did not fly.

Another Aiglet, at the Karachi museum. Looks OK from a distance, but the fabric is a bit saggy.

Another suposedly naval aircraft that’s not. Ex Iraqi Fury, F-AZXJ, dressed up as a Sea Fury. Taken last Saturday at Lausanne after it had slipped off the taxiway into the soft grass. No damage though. Flew again next day.
