Relationship with other SECAT types
editHaving spent some time staring at the French contemporary mags, Gailllard, Jane's Encyclopaedia, and F- registers (I've not caught up with Jane's 1948 but will), as well as the two WikiP arts on the S-5 and RG75 (are they significantly different types?), I've been very careful not to speculate on the relationship of the surprisingly numbered Type VI to others mentioned in the books, though not the mags, like the S-4 and S-5. It will be hard to pin them down reliably and the analysis is not helped by the common use of engine types and powers, like RG65 and 60T, to distinguish aircraft types. SECAT seem to have used the Train in both monoplanes and a biplane.TSRL (talk) 09:56, 28 September 2015 (UTC) The numbers for the S-4 on the aviafrance website are close to those of the Type VI but why the changed Type number? He doesn't give a source, so who knows? There was a new type being built at SECAT in July 1938 (Les Alies), but no type number was given, so what was it? It's possible that types were retrospectively renumbered post-war into S-numbers but, for now, that's just speculation.TSRL (talk) 10:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
