Designed by Marcel Riffard the Aiglon was a tandem
two seat monoplane which was popular with flying clubs in France prior
to World War 11. During the war many were used as liaison aircraft by
the Armee de l’Air. Variants of the C600 were the C600G (5 built)
powered by a 130hp(97kW) de Havilland Gypsy Major; the C601 Aiglon
Senior (18 built) powered by a 140hp(104kW) Renault Bengali 4Pei and the
single seat C610 (2 built). One C600 remains in airworthy condition. The
aircraft illustrated above is a C.601, two examples of which are
believed to remain airworthy in France.
