If you want to use a postcard or other image in any way, I do want that you contact me.
If you for some reason "forget" to do so I expect that you on social medias, own web sites or in any kind of publication, clearly states where you found the picture, for example www.famgus.se.
Thank You!

Sud Aviation (Southern Aviation) was a French state-owned aircraft manufacturer, originating from the merger of

1) Sud-Est (SNCASE, or Société Nationale des Constructions Aéronautiques du Sud-Est)
and
2) Sud-Ouest (SNCASO or Société Nationale des Constructions Aéronautiques du Sud-Ouest)
on 1 March 1957.

Both companies had been formed from smaller privately owned corporations that had been nationalized into six regional design and manufacturing pools just prior to the Second World War.

SUD Avition developed different helicopters (Alouette II, Puma and Gazelle) and of course the Caravelle.

During 1970, Sud Aviation merged with both

1) Nord Aviation and
2) Société d'Études et de Réalisation d'Engins Balistiques (SÉREB)
to form the Aérospatiale company.

Aérospatiale formed several large-scale international consortia,
for example with British Aerospace and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm to form Airbus;
the company ultimately merged into the European aerospace conglomerate EADS in 2000.
During January 2014, EADS was reorganised as the Airbus Group.

In my collection I have both postcards and SUD Aviation PR photographs that illustrates different manufacturing stages of the Caravelle as well as photographs of different Caravelle aircrafts..
