Photo Comment

First flown in April 1961, the first of two prototypes. The type was heavily promoted in North America and production was planned for a batch of 25 aircraft to be built both at Argenteuil near Paris and at a new factory being constructed at Baldonnel in Ireland. Unfortunately orders were not forthcoming and although four further aircraft were built, two each of the Potez 841 and Potez 842, the company collapsed and was merged into Sud Aviation in 1967. Became F-BJSH following certification in September 1973.
