Saw the first and third of these on Rex's Hangar a day or two ago, in his top ten ugliest (and not particularly successful) French aircraft!

Is that a qualifier for an aircraft to be included in BAT, now?

Really hope so.
Especially the Leduc 022!!
That one is real strange. With the pilot sitting in the engine. As-per-se

Sure hope we can get these ugly looking planes into BAT.
Would be a real treat to see how they fly.

Savoia-Marchetti SM.55 already exists : https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,26545.msg279758.html#msg279758, but unfortunately is not included in BAT. Maybe one of our gurus can import it in TGA and WAW ???

By the way... it is not a French plane, but an Italian one...

oops! 

Thanks Gaston.

No problem, voowe... I just hope that, some day, it will be included in TG and WAW !!! Personnally, I add it manually, so no problem...
