An item on the beautiful Touya TO.1 aircraft from Les Ailes, Jan. 6, 1938 (it seems to imply that it was actually built but not flown at that time—no photos exist, only the three-view arrangement shared earlier by hesham).

Do you really think the first and second photos show the same sailor? I mean, they're two different...

Interesting remark. Besides the enlarged tail fin and rounded up enclosed fuselage, it seems pretty much the same to me (shape of the wing, V-strut attachments). Possibly reworked along the way?

Except for the hull, both look very similar.
