Well, in the Trait d'Union #170 (Nov-Dec 1995), the aspect of the Bassou Rubis (corrections article) is very different from the photograph in the link above. Alas I have not the main article of Trait d'Union about Bassou aircradt.Tophe said:A derivative of the Bassou Rubis of 1936 (see http://www.aviafrance.com/bassou-fb-31-rubis--aviation-france-9852.htm ) was (or would have been?) the Heider amphibian (from Le Trait d’Union #163 Sept-Oct 1995):
I was completely lost in the alphabetical counter-directions of the Trait d’Union articles "French manufacturers 1919-45 by Charles Claveau", anyway the Index helped me: I found the Bassou article, in T.U.137 (May-June 1991).Tophe said:Alas I have not the main article of Trait d'Union about Bassou aircraft.
Detail of the Rubis family:Tophe said:* Rubis family: high wing twin-boom (tractor or glider), only one copy (Rubis) has been built

Text, drawing and specifications from L'Aérophile 02/1938.
Name is spelled "Bassou EB4" in the table, surely a mistake.
