It is a SNCAN/Nord NC.854S Norvegie, built in 1950. puddinghead was the first to mention the Norvegie. He has control. The SNCAC/SNCAN Nord NC-840/850/860 family has an arcane production history, dating from 1946, with the aircraft being powered by over 7 different powerplants. One early version was powered by a Mathis radial engine. SNCAC ceased operating in July of 1949, production was then continued by SNCAN. There were a few tricycle gear models. A small number of 850s were called 'Norclub'. It would seem the true 'Norvegie' was the version built for the French Army, but the appellation seems to have become common to all of the series. Approximately 280 airframes were completed, the last in 1953.
