History

Two prototypes, registered F-WBBX and F-WBBT were tested at the CEV at Brétigny-sur-Orge in 1947 by pilots Marcel Joannès and Guy Buteau. Shortly afterwards, F-WBBT was displayed together with other SECAT designs at the Semaine de l'Aviation légère (light aviation week) held at Toussus-le-Noble from 22 April 1947 but was already somewhat outdated by the standards of the time. [1] SECAT produced no further examples. [1]
