La banque Némo
Movie (1934)
English title : Nemo's Bank
Starring:
Victor Boucher (Gustave Lebrèche)
Mona Goya (Charlotte)
Alice Tissot (Miss Némo)
René Bergeron (Émile Larnoy)
Rising of Gustave Lebrèche from the gutter to become a leading banker. He reaches his goal during the director's journey to Moscow.
In 1934, the Soviet capital wasn't an Air France destination and the trip required two days (and not half a day, as the director said). A short footage stands for the departure.
Wibault 280T12
Reg. F-AMH? one of the six Wibault 280T12 of Air France (where ? stands for a letter from K to P).
Farman F.303
Registration could be F-ALEF or F-AJEF for this Farman F.30? airliner.
As the three powerplants are five-cylinder air-cooled radial engines, this could not be the unique Farman F-300 (F-AJIG, later modified as a F.305 with a nine-cylinder in the nose). The other variant with such three Gnome et Rhône 5Ba engines is the Farman F.303 and among the six built, only airframe c/n 7241/1 (F-ALEF) is the right one.
Farman F.301
Reg. F-AJLP Farman F.301 c/n 7167/1 run out the factory in February 1930. First of a batch of six, this footage was filmed after August 1933 (Air France logo just behind the engine in the nose). Withdrawn From Use (WFU) in April 1935.
Breguet 280T
Reg. F-AJKV Breguet 280T c/n 7. Built for Air Union in 1929 but seen here with Air France colors (so footage filmed after August 1933). WFU in November 1935.
Same aircraft in other movies at Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).
