Bréguet 280T

The Bréguet 280T was a French biplane airliner of the late 1920s, created by the manufacturer as a means of finding a civil market for their 19 warplane, as they had once tried before with the 26T.

The 280T was similar to the 26T, using the Bréguet 19's flying surfaces combined with a passenger-carrying fuselage that completely filled the interplane gap.

A single prototype was evaluated in autumn 1928, followed by eight production machines ordered by Air Union.

On 17 January 1931, Bréguet 280T F-AIVU of Air Union crashed while attempting to land at Lympne Airport in England.

[1][2] The aircraft caught the boundary fence and crashed onto the airfield, damaging the forward fuselage and undercarriage.
