History
SNCASO built two similar Deauvilles in 1947, flown on 11 June and 1 July. In 1948 both were re-engined with Walter Minor 4-III engines and given a third seat, the S.O.7060 first flying on 22 March 1948.
Variants
Variants were the S.O.7050 with tricycle gear, the S.O.7055 and S.O.7056 with tailwheel gear, and the three-seat S.O.7060.
Where you'll see it
Only two airframes were built. The first flew with its makers, then with an aero club at St-Cyr-l'Ecole from the later 1950s into the 1960s, and has not survived.
