SAN Jodel D.140 Mousquetaire

The SAN Jodel D.140 Mousquetaire (Musketeer) is a French five-seat light touring monoplane based on the earlier Jodel D.117 and built by Société Aéronautique Normande (SAN) at Bernay.

[1] SAN had been producing the earlier Jodel D.117 under licence from which it then developed the larger 4 to 5-seat D.140.

The final version was a glider tug variant the D.140R Abeille.

The type was flown by aero clubs and private owners and remains in use in 2014.
