ACAZ C.2

The ACAZ C.2 was a biplane of the Belgian manufacturer ACAZ. The two-seater machine was manufactured in only one copy, and came in 1926 to the first flight. The identifier was initially O- BaFX moved to later OO -AFX.

The special feature of the machine was that all four wing panels could be switched. The machine had a special cargo space for cameras, so that they would particularly as reconnaissance can be used. The machine has been tested by the Belgian Air Force, but just could not because of the then new concept decide for them. It remained in a prototype.

It came again in the public eye when, on March 9, 1928 Edmond Thieffry with two other pilots tried to fly to the Belgian Congo, but has already had to make an emergency landing in France. The machine was lost on January 25, 1933 after a crash.
