No problem.
According to the book Le Dewoitine 520, Authors Danel and Cuny, Docavia/Larivière editing, the history of the D-520 Z began between the Summer 1941 and january 1942, when a 1/8 windmodel was tested. In September 12, 1942, the German occupier authorized the construction of the prototype. It left the factory in February 1943, but the Germans prohibited the continuation of the program in March 1943. It was then stored, but studies on the D-520 Z were able to continue until the end of the war. It is then in the good part of the forum.

In 1948, it was to serve only as a testbed for the 12 Z engine. In April its engine was changed, but during the flying tests (only straight lines above the runway) of October 22, the engine still worked so badly that the tests were definitively abandoned.

Hi! D.513 and D.514.

Dewoitine D.513 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"The D.513 was a single-seat low-wing cantilever monoplane fighter that first flew on 6 January 1936. The D.513 was powered by an 860 hp (641 kW) Hispano-Suiza 12Ycrs1 inline piston engine and had a retractable tailwheel landing gear. Testing proved that the D.513 was unstable and not able to reach the expected speeds and it was rebuilt with a new fuselage and a modified tail unit. The changes did not improve the stability or the maximum speed and problems were also found in the engine cooling and landing gear, and further development was halted. The second prototype was modified with landing gear and a radiator from the D.503. It was redesignated the D.514LP and was used in high-speed parachute trials."

Does anyone know where this is? Last I heard it was in storage somewhere in the South of England

The fuselage and some other parts of the Dewoitine D.514LP was reported as being at la Ferté-Alais in the early eighties, in the custody of the Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis. That it migrated, at some time, to the South of England is news to me. Can you elaborate upon that, please?
