        • Looks to be a three-gear,
          maybe an early jet
          maybe a single built development aircraft

          • Tricycle gear - correct.

            Jet - No

            Early development aircraft - yes and no. A total of 115 aircraft were ordered, but cancelled later due to budgetary reasons. Only one built, used as a prototype and also as an operational aircraft.

            Here`s a little more of the aircraft:

            • Budgetary reason ....
              maybe one of those programs started during WWII and cancelled at the end of it or early in 1946 at best ...
              One built
              maybe used as a test bed during the operational life ...

              • Sorry, but you are abut 10 years too early. The order was placed in May 1956 and cancelled in June 1957. The aircraft ended its operational life when it crashed in 1958 as a liason aircraft.

                  • That`s the one.

                    Here is a brief history of the Potez 75.

                    Brian has control.

                                I can see how you thought that but ....No.

                                The one in the picture looks VERY like the MS 733 though. You're too far North East in Europe though so I'll have to give this one the boot !!!
