Morin P.M.01

04/30/2014. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "This aircraft was the only aircraft designed by Pierre Morin, an employee of Air-France and a member of the Aero-Club du Canton de Sceaux (near Paris, France) whose members built it. The P.M.01 was first flown on July 4, 1951, and subsequently by other club member. However, by April 1956 it still had not received a CofA, and most likely it never did.

In the photo the P.M.01 is accompanied by the Stampe et Vertongen SV.4C (F-BCXK c/n 445) that was also in use with the Aero-Club du Canton de Sceaux."
