Good morning boys! No, not a Folland and not from 1954. It was a project from the 1960s.

By the way, I Googled it and nothing came up! Happy hunting.

Does that mean it's not on the net?

Good morning all,

A quick stab before work!

Could it be the SIPA 270 Presence, the engines look like Astazou, it was a rear loader, twin boom, 16 seater. I can't find anything on Aviafrance or Google and haven't got time to follow up where I found its announcement in 1960.

Thanks RR,

By 1961, the Presence seemed to have become the 272, this had a swing nose to load, the twin-booms and clamshell doors had given way to a conventional tail and the it had become a low-winger!! It then seems to sink without trace over the next year and never got beyond a mock-up.

If you having computer problems LM, I can go Open House to keep thing rolling along!

I found it on Your favourite" mate, Fright Archive. It has its uses despite the search engine, though you have to know a few little tricks to make it work for you

You can search on Aerofiles quite well, but it has different little foibles that you have to be aware of to avoid missing things.

Not British mate!

Nah mate, if it's not in a book it's not worth looking for.

Discounting American.

How about French?
