SPAD S.42

Blériot-SPAD S.42 (usually named only SPAD) was a French biplane trainer aircraft relying on the SPAD S.XIII (the wing was changed for a new upper one slighty swept and -of course- no armement but another station for the student or passenger). Ten airframes built for the French Navy (Aéronautique Navale) and a handfull to the civil market including this F-AEHO (c/n 3) sold in 1927 to a second owner and eventually deregistered in 1934.

Note the mirroring F under the horizontal stabilizer.

Loosing parts !

Reg. F-AEEE Farman F.60 Goliath c/n 11. Short-live airframe delivered in summer 1922 which crashed at Valenciennes airshow, North of France, on 15 July 1923.
