The ACAZ C.2 was a double-decker from the Belgian manufacturer ACAZ . The two-seat machine was produced in just one copy and made its maiden flight in 1926. The license plate was initially O-BAFX, later changed to OO-AFX.
The special thing about the machine was that all four wing halves could be exchanged for one another. The machine had a special hold for cameras so that it could have been used as a reconnaissance aircraft. The machine was tested by the Belgian Air Force , which, however, could not decide in favor of it because of the concept that was still new at the time. It stayed with a prototype.
It came into the public eye again when on March 9, 1928 Edmond Thieffry tried with two other pilots to fly to the Belgian Congo , but had to make an emergency landing in France. The machine was lost on January 25, 1933 after a crash.
