F-WAVA Sud-Est S.E. 2010 Armagnac
(c/n 01)

The prototype Armagnac was first flown on 2 April 1949,
and it is seen in this SNCASE image
above. The large four
engined transport was designed for Air France, although that carrier
refused
to accept
them. Only 8 of the original 15 machines were completed,
four of which went to TAI.
Seven S.E.2010s were used
later by SAGETA (Société Auxiliaire de Gérance et
d'Exploitation
de Transport
Aériens), in support of the French military action in Indo-China
(the forerunner of the
Vietnamese War) and
performed sterling duty in carrying troops and material from Toulouse to
Saigon during that
campaign.
