Sud-Ouest SO.30P Bretagne - 1947
The SO.30 Bretagne twin-engined transport was designed in the early part of World War II, in spite of the difficulties facing the project given the German occupation of France. |
 |
Indeed, the two prototypes were damaged during Allied bombardment of Cannes. |
 |
It was resurrected once peace had been restored. |
 |
In its definitive form, the SO.30P, the aircraft first flew on 11 December 1947. |
 |
The subsequent production run totalled 45 examples, four of which were used for a time by Air France. Eight SO.30Ps served with Air Algerie and 12 with Air Maroc. |
 |
Some were bought by charter companies, continuing in service for a number of years. |
 |
Others were operated, sometimes under charter, by units of the French Air Force's Transport Command.
