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."

"In 1926, the Belgian government launched a competition for the selection of a metal-built fighter plane. Alfred Renard decides to participate in this competition with a device of his design: the Sparrowhawk Fox . It is a high-wing monoplane aircraft of avant-garde design at a time when the “biplane” formula was the order of the day. Two prototypes are built: the first in the Stampe & Vertongen workshops, the second in the SABCA workshops.
However, the Hawk built by Stampe and Vertongen was destroyed in October 1928, after test pilot Charles Wouters parachuted after an untimely spin."
