The Consortium Europeen de Realisation et de Ventes
d’Avions (CERVA) was formed in 1972 with the merger of Wassmer Aviation
and Siren SA. The company developed the CE-43 Guepard as an all metal
version of the Wassmer WA.4/21 Prestige (30 built) which had first flown
in 1967. A few Guepards remain airworthy.
