Note :

Several official sources say that SV-4B V52 flew in 1989 with a French registration as F-AZEX. The wreckage should be bought by J.M. Delimboeuf (Rouen / Fr) and registered as F-AZEX , but this is not correct. J.M. Delimboeuf only "used" the c/n of the SV-4B V52 wreckage. The registration in France was cancelled chortly after. In fact the wreckage of the V52 went directly to restorator Gerrit Titeca.
The F-AZEX was in fact a self builded SV-4 (with Renault engine)
