History
Roche Aviation designed the T.35 late in the Second World War as a low-wing touring monoplane with fixed undercarriage. The first example flew in September 1944.
Variants
The T.35 models were two-seaters with Renault or Regnier engines of 100 to 140 hp. The T.39 seated three or four and used radial engines of 145 hp (Mathis) or 175 hp (Salmson), and the T.55 had a clear-view canopy and a Walter Minor engine.
Where you'll see it
Production ended after 15 examples of the series. They were flown by private owners and French light aero clubs until at least the mid-1960s.
