Messier, French company claims that they designed and manufacturerd the undercarriage.

Welcome to a future, in a non too distant future, member

I think Black6 was time expired and due to be withdrawn from flying after his last doomed flight.

The only problem with forumites, sometimes they start insulting each other instead of concentrating on the topic.

Moggy, thks again for your work.

Can’t help, except for a drawing, all photographs in Avro Athena Advanced Trainer , Publication P15/4M/49.9 are b & w.

As suggested by Daniel Brackx, I checked with the Canadian and ordered “The Canadian Aviation Historical Society – Journal Vol. 42 No. 2: Summer 2004” which arrived to-day.
Excellent (B & W) photographs shows the plane in the two-tone c/s with Belgian registration. The author clearly states that the plane was painted in a blue c/s whilst in Belgian hands.
Strangely, researches carried in Belgium did not allow to trace any picture in this colour scheme during belgian service with Cogea nouvelle.
It is nevertheless worth mentioning that the Beechcraft Bonanza, OO-FUN, belonging to the founder of the company was cream and blue but in another pattern, only b & w photographs in my collection. It happened that I did my first flight in that aircraft in 1952 at the age of seven.

Should be painted in the lowely period colour scheme.
