Sud-Est S.E.2410 Grognard
Designed as a single-seat ground-attack aircraft, the Sud-Est SE.2410 Grognard (Grumbler - a nickname for a soldier of Napoleon's Old Guard) prototype flew for the first time on 30 April 1950, powered by two 2197kg thrust Hispano-Suiza Nene 101 turbojets mounted one above the other in the fuselage. A second prototype, the SE.2415 Grognard II, flew in February 1945. A two-seater, it was damaged in a belly landing. The definitive production version would have been the SE.2418, which was to have been powered by Rolls-Royce Tay turbojets, but the SO Vautour was selected to meet the Armee de l'Air's ground-attack requirement instead.
