Description

Stampe-Renard SR.7 / Farman Monitor

The Belgian-designed SR.7 was basically a monoplane development of the Stampe-Vertongen SV-4. The first prototype was built in France as the Farman 500 Monitor I, followed by a Belgian prototype named SR.7B. The French version used a Renault engine while the Belgian version was equipped with a Cirrus Bombardier. The SR.7 tendered for a contract with the Belgian air force as a replacement for the ageing SV-4b trainers, but the air force chose the modern SF.260M and Stampe-Renard went out of business.
The SR.7 was not without its merits though, as the famous French aerobatic pilot Leon Biancotto proved on numerous occasions. He even set a world duration record for inverted flight on the SR.7.
