Re: Pre WW2 Belgium Parachute Bailouts ?
Earlier one
" In 1926, the Belgian government launched a competition with a view to the construction of a metal fighter plane. Confident in its capacities, the company of Avions et Moteurs Renard decides to participate in this competition with a device of his design: the Hawk Fox. This is a monoplane plane with high wings of avant-garde design to a time when the formula "biplane" is de rigueur. Two prototypes are built: the first in the Stampe workshops & Vertongen, the second in the SABCA workshops. Both planes are equipped with a 480 hp Gnome-Rhône "Jupiter VI" engine, built under license by SABCA. The Hawk built by Stampe and Vertongen was destroyed in October 1928, after test pilot Charles Wouters parachuted from an accidental spin." |
