The SIPA 70 was a valiant attempt to provide a economical small feeder liner after WW2,the design owes something to the Siebel 204 transport aircraft,and the lifting fuselage shape was incorporated into the Bretagne which was made for the French air force.
Although only one example was made the design exemplifies excellent French aero engineering at a time when industry was struggling to meet the demands of the aftermath of war.
Observant members will notice that the two models incorporate two different wing planforms both of which were tried out on the SIPA 70.
