This was in a stack with Nord SS.11, SS.12 and CT.20 photos. I've had a rummage online, but nothing similar turns up.

I've seen it before but can't remember where or what it is called. Anyone give me steer?

My dear Gibson,

it was ECA-57.

I have a little question, have we the drawing of the NC.1500 noréclair with the functionnal turret, or the drawing of the NC.1510 version?

We have only Nord N.1500 drawing,but there is no paint to N.1510.

First numbering system:

Nord 1102 Noralpha/ Ramier II second production version with Renault engine

Hi Stargazer,
unfortunately, this is a legend. This designation was not used. I never seen any evidence that any project was started under this designation and, for sure, no production was done.

You may remove this Nord 1102 from your list.

Thanks a lot for your replies here and on the Bloch thread!

Yes, I know that Wikipedia has the big default to always push alive all errors published at least once.
But I insist: Nord Aviation has never built any Nord 1102. You can check all photos you want, you will never found any. Bernard Chenel has established the complete production list of Nord 1100/1101/1110, and he confirmed that no Nord 1102 has been produced.
Even in the archives from Nord Aviation, I never found any mention of such designation.

The SNCAN/Nord-Aviation designation system was very complicated. Internally, they used mixed designations with numbers and letters: AT, ATS, TR, E2, E3, etc. The problem is that some of these cover multiple projects, or simply internal study. So the correspondance is almost impossible to confirm.
For example, I attach some plans of the E3.

Sometimes, it's possible to establish the correspondance. Here is an example of a Nord TR, which is also called Nord 1150.

My dear Philippe,

can you display these projects in this topic,

And many thanks.
 
I apologize, it's a mistake from my side: by exploring many other plans I have about SNCAN studies, I finally understood that the designation TA, TR, TM, AT, ATS, E1, E2, E3, etc. are not related to the projects, but refer to the department that provided the documents. It is not so evident on some plans, but attached example is clearer.
