Dassault
M.D.315 Flamant
(c/n 216)
The M.D.315 was
the light utility transport version of the Flamant. Surprisingly,
few seem to have
made it to the French civil register as legitimate transports or exec
machines after the French Air
Force
was done with them, although a number are now to be seen on the Air
Show circuit, dressed
up,
obviously, in their old military markings, and exhibiting F-AZ--
regos. In the 1970s several
passed to the Air Forces of former french Colonies, such as those
of Vietnam, Cambodia,
Madagascar and Tunisia. 137 M.D.315s were built. All
Flamants were originally powered by
two SNECMA-Renault 12S 02-201 engines developing some 580 hp.
