EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Morane-Saulnier MS.500 Criquet D-EMAW (msn 1034) takes center stage, showcased at the Musee de l'air et de l'espace in Le Bourget, near Paris, circa 1990. This pre-production version of the MS.500 Criquet air ambulance is an intriguing sight, as it has been painted in the colors of a Fieseler Fi156 D-0. The MS.500 Criquet, a versatile and agile aircraft, was originally designed by Morane-Saulnier as a light observation and liaison aircraft for the French military. However, this particular model was modified to serve as an air ambulance, making it an essential asset for medical evacuation missions. The Fieseler Fi156 D-0, also known as the "Storch," was a legendary German liaison and observation aircraft used extensively during World War II. Its distinctive paint scheme, featuring a bold camouflage pattern, is instantly recognizable. By adopting this livery for the MS.500 Criquet D-EMAW, the designers aimed to pay homage to the storied history of the Fieseler Fi156 while also highlighting the adaptability and versatility of the MS.500 Criquet platform. The MS.500 Criquet D-EMAW, with its unique appearance, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of aviation designers and engineers. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of aviation history, showcasing the evolution of aircraft design and the enduring appeal of aviation's past. This photograph captures the essence of the MS.500 Criquet D-EMAW, a remarkable aircraft that continues to inspire and captivate aviation enthusiasts.
