Thanks Tophe for your tremendous input on this subject!!

 

[Tophe]

Well, I feel ashamed somehow, because the "Trait d'Union" magazine is currently sold... Nevertheless, this is not piracy, for two main reasons:
- several among you know it is almost impossible to get a copy of the Trait d'Union magazine without being a member of the BFAB association (Branche Française d'Air Britain), so I am a member and I share the joy I have to be one;
- this is an English translation that was not in the original, and I completed a few points (MS-156 interpretation, MS-420 link, interpretation of the power column as "per engine" through checking with Google the Fleuret example, selecting the unbuilt projects not yet covered in this topic), this is not zero action.
I hope this is OK, so. Thanks (a little to me maybe but most of all) to the marvelous Trait d'Union that made the list.

example are appearing in the Messiers website, too, but are clearly indicated as studies, or designs, not as designations.

[Jemiba]

That list principally is, what is shown in the mentioned book. Not asserted to be complete, it's
nevertheless the most complete one, I've found still yet in a single source. There are several other
designation bustling about, but several of them I watch at least with some carefulness, e.g. the
MS.550, said to be the Swiss D.3802 (mentioned as MS.540 here), or especially the MS.631 as
the Finnish "Mörko Morane". Those were purely Finnish modification to the existing MS.406, why
the should have ever got MS-designations ?
But, although very comprehensive, Henri Lacazes book certainly isn't free from errors, too, but to
be fair, that would be nearly impossible for a work of that extent.
Regarding it as the "new bible" about this manufacturer, we still have to clarify some discrepancies,
as for example, the MS.761 is described here as a single engined derivative of the MS.760, whereas
in Jean Cunies "Les Avions De Combat Francaise" (still a quite reliable source, I think) it is said to be
a dedicated attack version of the basic twin engined MS.760. So, there's still some work to be done !

There is actually, and your work provided an excellent base to start from.

I'll be posting the results of my investigations in the not-so-far future...

My dear Jemiba,


for Morko-Morane,I mentioned it to know if it was a designation for MS or not,and for
MS.550,you know from Trait d'Union magazine,it was assigned for Swiss D.3802A.

 

[Jemiba]

I know, but there's at least one other example of a Morane Saulnier designation, that actually
found widespread use in several sources, without being an original MS designation: The "MS.506L",
used for a MS.502 conversion with a Lycoming engine never got this designation officially. The
"original" MS.506 was a MS.500/502 with an Astazou engine. Sometimes official and inofficial
designations got mixed up and then, it's time for some research, no matter, what the sources
are.

 

[hesham]

OK my dear Jemiba,


and again very very great work.

 

[Stargazer]

hesham, I don't understand why you go picking little bits of the Trait d'Union listing if you have the whole document!

I do have the 10-page document too and I've sent it to Jens by mail earlier today. That's the spirit of this forum, collaborating and advancing together. I'm also reworking all the info and the additions into a giant Excel file that will be shared in this page soon.

 

[hesham]

Stargazer,


what do you mean by 10-page ?,and that spirit,I have it too,but we can't send
all pages and documents from Trait d'Union,that's illegal,and my dear Tophe
sent all new info from the magazine in the same topic,and he didn't leave
any available aircraft and projects,he mentioned all of them.

 

[Jemiba]

Folks, calm down, please !
To my opinion, at least for this manufacturer, our problem isn't to find additional designations anymore,
but to confirm, that those, we already have are authentic. And in this sense, we have to scrutinise
all our sources ! The question just is : Who we should ask ? In the moment I'm trying to contact Henri
Lacaze, because although his book really is great I can at least prove one statement drawing to be wrong
and I have some doubts about some other statements. We have several designations mentioned in Jean
Cunys book, but unfortunately we cannot ask him anymore. I love his books, they gave me the first deeper
insight into the French postwar military aviation, but they were published in the '80s, so their state of research
probably is from the late '70s. Maybe he is regarded in the meantime as a kind of "French Heinz J. Nowarra"
(Not to disparage his work !) ? And there are, of course, lots of other sources, which are listing types. The
problem just often is, that it isn't obvious, where this data comes from, maybe just copied and pasted from
another source ?
And in the end, we perhaps have to face the fact, that not even the documents of a manufacturer are always
and all consistent ! Just a speculative scenario: The Finnish airforce had modified their MS.406/410 on its own
to "Mörkö Moranes", but had asked Morane Saulnier for advice/plans, whatsoever, maybe after WW II, when
production had ended long before. Everybody who has ever worked for some kind of industrial company knows,
that such things are producing paperwork, which means some kind of billing, at least internally. The settlement
accounts for the MS.406 closed long ago, maybe just another number was used ? Would this be a "real" designation
then ? Again, I built this scenario just as an example, what could have happened, but I know, that things like that
happen every day in other industrial or administrative branches, so why not in the aviation industry ?
All we can do is, to compare the sources we have, trying to get to know their origin and assess their credibility,
always keeping in mind the old say "shit happens", that means "they were made by humans and to err is human" !
So, there certainly is no easy way and the one "final designation list" will be just a myth in many cases, I'm afraid.
Nevertheless, our work can bring us at least nearer to it, step by step !

 

[Stargazer]

Folks, calm down, please !

I don't think there was any anger, just surprise that hesham was sharing tiny bits of a ten-page document when he could have shared the document itself with you... Anyway, as you now know, I have sent the document to BOTH of you, so this shouldn't be a problem anymore.

So, there certainly is no easy way and the one "final designation list" will be just a myth in many cases, I'm afraid.
Nevertheless, our work can bring us at least nearer to it, step by step !

As you have noticed, the list from Le Trait d'Union #260 not only adds a number of previously undocumented entries (even though it misses a few, too, notably the "German occupation" series and the whole Rallye family...) but it also provides some great differences to what has been written previously in this topic, notably with regards to the numbers produced for certain types...

Particularly noteworthy additions/corrections for our topic resulting from comparing the sources:

1°) The "_60" designations:

• MS. 60 was the De Havilland DH. 60 Moth produced under license.
• MS. 160 was the Fieseler Storch produced under license (different from the later MS. 500 Criquet).
• MS. 260 was the De Havilland DH. 80 Puss Moth produced under license.

2°) The Swiss fighters:

• MS. 406H was the D-3800.
• MS. 506 was the D-3801 (designation was later reallocated to a 1960 liaison type).
• MS. 540 was the D-3802 (re-use of a designation previously allocated to a 1940 fighter project).
• MS. 550 was the D-3802A
• MS. 560 was the D-3803 (strange re-use of the designation allocated two years before to an aerobatic prototype).

3°) The names:

• MS. 470 was called the Lévrier (greyhound) and was the first Morane to receive a name.
• MS. 631 was the Mörkö-Morane version of the MS. 406 and was known as the Fantôme.
• MS. 785 was called the Versailles in its twin-jet version and the Nice (or "Comté de Nice") in its four-jet version.
• MS. 861 was called the Super Paris.
• MS. 1510 was called the Épervier II.
• MS. 1550 was called the Super 1500.

Also it is important to correct an important mistake made previously in this topic: the MS. 800 attack project was NOT a contender of the Baroudeur (which indeed wouldn't make much sense) but of the Bréguet Taon and the Dassault Étendard.

[hesham]

Very great work stargazer.

 

[Cy-27]

That really is fine piece of work - always need to know more about French manufacturers.

Well done all!

 

[Jemiba]

Fantastic !
Had a look again into Cunys book, you're right, my fault. the Sud-Est contender was
the SE.5020, a later derivative of the SE.5000. Still looking confirmation of the 550
and 631, let's see.

 

[Stargazer]

Glad you guys appreciate it.

I have now put in red type all the designations that are either undocumented, unconfirmed or dubious.

The list will evolve as I come across new evidence/references to confirm or invalidate them.

Thanks again to anyone who can help!

MS.351 1936 single seat acrobatic aircraft project

Here is a small info about MS.351,from Avions "91" magazine.

 

[c460]

• MS. 706 : development of MS. 701 with 2 engines, two engines, project?, 1950
• MS. 706 : jet aircraft, alternate version with 4 jet engines, project?,

I have some doubts about this MS.706 jet aircraft. Did Morane really plan a jet variant of the MS.700, or could it be a typo for MS.760 ?

 

[Jemiba]

The MS. 706 is mentioned as a two or four engined jet derivative in Henri Lacaze "Morane-
Saulnier-Ses avions ses projets", too. The piston engines would have been replaced by
underslung nacelles for the jet egines with split nozzles for the twin engined variant. In the
room between, the main gear would have been stowed.

 

[c460]

Thank you for that information. This was a weird project, quite unrealistic in my opinion (at least commercially) like many others of the period.

 

[redstar72]

So, what's final conclusion about the Swiss D-3801 - it was MS. 506, not 412?

 

[Jemiba]

Had a look into „MORANE-SAULNIER. Ses avions, ses projets“, by Henri Lacaze. About the MS.410/411/412/
and 506 (as a MS.406 derivative) he wrote:

"MS 405 n ° 12 served as a testbed for the Hispano 12Y45 with a Szydlowski-Planiol compressor , developing 930 hp
at an altitude of 5500 m, and with a fixed ventral radiator. Sometimes the designation MS.411 can be found, but in
reality this was applied to a study of for a radiator, that would have been situated under the engine with a semicircular
shutter on the exhaust to control the flow of air. Another development with a 12Y51 engine was designated MS.412,
but no aircraft of this type were built in France, although according to other sources, manufacturing of three aircraft
was actually undertaken and MS.406 n ° 100 was modified with a fixed radiator and the jet exhaust pipes of the MS.410.
On the other hand in Switzerland 207 examples were built under the designation D-3800 with the Spanish engine
fabricated under the name YS 1 (with some changes) under licence by Saurer, delivering 1050 hp. Produced between
1941 and 1947, they were used beside the D-3800 for training and target towing until 1959. The designation MS 506 is
sometimes used, to say that it was a kind of "Super 406”, but this designation has no foundation in Puteaux (Morane
Saulnier main factory), nor obviously in Switzerland."

... if I made not too big mistakes in this translation. :-\ Perhaps one of our native english speakers could check
the original text in the attached doc-file ?

 

[burunduk]

Skyblazer, the list you've compiled is amazing.

You quoted f/f MS.152 in 1930, but this aircraft was described just in l'Ailes #394 03.01.1929 page 3 and flew in 1928.
According to Donald it was built in "small number". I'd wish to know what number this "small" is.

Thank you so much, burunduk! I'm really glad that some people find it of good use.

Thanks for the correction, dates are often approximate, so when a definite source can be provided, it's even better!

 

[Jemiba]

According to Henri Lacazes "Morane-Saulnier - Ses Avions - Ses Projets", the "small"
number is just "1" ! It was registered as F-AJQE and modified later into the MS.153.

 

[Petrus]

• MS. 710 (1) : 1-seat fighter jet aircraft, contender of Dassault Ouragan, two 2270 kgp Rolls-Royce Nene engines, project, 1947
• MS. 711 : 1-seat fighter jet aircraft, development of MS. 710 with swept wing, two 2270 kgp Rolls-Royce Nene engines, project, 1947

As for these project, both fighters were to be single-engined obviously.

Here you've got a drawing of MS-711 (source: http://hydroretro.net/etudegh/de_ms_a_socata.pdf)

[Stargazer]

Thanks a lot Piotr, I'm editing the list right away.

Hi All,


we can add to the list;




Rebilkoff was three seat sport aircraft built for Rebilkoff before 1914


Paris Jet IV was four seat tourist aircraft project of 1982,powered by two 600 Garrett TFE 76
engines,intended by JacobJets company


C.1 was single seat fighter project of 1945,powered by one 1700 hp engine


Rallye twin engined version project


Convertible was light airliner project in convertiplane form

 

[hesham]

This Model was missing;

MS.883 was called Rallye 115,it was MS.880B with dorsal fin and 115 hp
Lycoming O.235-C2A engine.
