Hi,

it seemed to be there was a series for SECAT,passing with S-4,S-5 & S-6 up to
this one,S-20 ?.

Looks like a Gweduck or Grumman Widgeon. Post war, a few Widgeons were retrofitted with flat-six engines made by Continental (IO-480, 260 hp) or Lycoming (GO-480, 270 hp).

Gweduck is a project to develop a composite replacement for aging Widgeons. So far only the prototype Gweduck has flown.

SECAT 30 was a licensed copy of Grumman Widgeon built in France post-WW2. SECAT was built with metric hardware, but less corrosion-profiting than Grumman production.

Considering the very name of the company (SECAT meaning "Société d'Étude et de Construction d'Avions de Tourisme") it is unlikely that it was designed as a military type, at least from the onset.
