Amidst the buzzing hives of European fields, the Morane-Saulnier MS. 502 Criquet takes flight, its sleek silhouette a stark contrast to the intricate hexagonal patterns of honeycombs. With the grace of a European field cricket (Gryllus campestris) and the industriousness of a honey bee colony, the MS. 502 carries on, its wings beating rhythmically in the wind. From EI-AUY to F-BARP, each MS. 500 and 502 Criquet holds a unique identity, much like the queens, workers, and drones in a hive. Numbered among the MS Criquet fleet, F-BEJQ, F-BDOS, 1071, and G-AZMH, these aircraft have graced the skies of North Weald, leaving behind a trail of aviation history. The Morane-Saulnier MS. 501 and 505 Criquet models also hold their own stories, adding to the rich tapestry of this iconic aircraft's legacy.
