Continental Converted Replacing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the SNCAC-Nord NC.854 F-BDZL, a remarkable aircraft conversion that took place during the 1960s. The NC.854 is a variant of the Nord 850 series, which was originally designed by Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Nord (SNCAN) in France. The featured aircraft, F-BDZL (msn 41), was initially an NC.852, but underwent a significant transformation when its Minie 4.DC.32 engine was replaced with a more powerful Continental A65 engine. This upgrade not only enhanced the aircraft's performance but also extended its operational capabilities. The image captures the NC.854 in flight, with its distinctive wings and tail fin cutting through the sky. The Continental A65 engine, with its distinctive cowling, is clearly visible beneath the fuselage. The aircraft's cockpit can be seen towards the front, with the pilot intently focusing on the task at hand. The SNCAC-Nord NC.854 F-BDZL represents an intriguing chapter in aviation history, showcasing the ingenuity and adaptability of aircraft designers and engineers during the 1960s. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the continuous evolution of aviation technology.
