St. Cyr 18/7/63 I have never heard of this aeroplane. Anybody any ideas ? Mr G. |
A development of the T.35 two-seater, the Guerchais Roche T.39 was built with either 3 seats (T.39/1) or 4 (T.39/2). A total of 5 were built.
175hp Salmson 9ND. Max speed 156mph, cruise 141, ceiling 23000 ft (it says here :eek: ). Empty 1563lb, MTOW 2535, span 30' 6", length 23' 7", wing 145sq ft. |
The Guerchais-Roche T.39/II was something of a landmark at that delightful airfield, St. Cyr. I think it finally faded away on that very spot. When I first saw it, also in '63 if I remember correctly, the hulk of a LeO C-302 (French-built Cierva Autogyro) was dumped nearby, but I believe that survived and is the one currently on display at the Musee de l'Air. In those days there were some real treasures around those Paris airfields — Buc, Toussus, Guyancourt, St. Cyr, Velizy-Villacoublay, Persan-Beaumont, Chelles, Mitry-Mory.
