Société Aéronautique Normande (SAN) was a French aircraft manufacturing business based at Bernay. It was formed in 1948 and failed in 1968.[1]
History[edit]
The company was started on 1 May 1948 at Bernay-Saint-Martin by Lucien Querey. Querey was a glider pilot and aeromodeller and his idea was to run a Aviation Service Station similar to a motor-vehicle garage.[1] His first aircraft was a conversion of a Piper Cub followed by his own two-seater design, the SAN-101. The SAN-101 did not enter production and Querey started to build the Jodel D.11 under licence.[1]
From 1952 the company built other Jodel designs under licence and these were followed by two models exclusive to SAN, the D.140 Mousquetaire four/five seater and the D.150 Mascaret two-seater.[1]
In November 1959 the company suffered a serious fire which was followed by the death of Querey and the company was then run by Querey's wife.[1] By the mid-1960s the company was in financial difficulties and it was forced into receivership in November 1968.[1] The assets were bought by Auguste Mudry who completed the last batch of D.140s and then used the factory to build Piel designs.[1]
