According to my very rusty French, 'Alerte' was a sort of rapid-response maritime aviation programme to which several types were designed (FBA, Paul Schmitt, etc).

Rusty french my foot ;)
I've done some further digging, and it seems (without guarantee, though) that these 'alerte' floatplanes were designed to patrol coastal waters nearing harbours to find out and drive off enemy submarines.

Read more HERE. Glad if it's of any help.
 
Actually Lefty, I neglected to photoshop out a very small clue....seek and ye shall find. :mixedsmi: I wouldn't focus too much attention on the landscape though.
 
My rickety bucket of bolts has lasted far longer than I expected. Finding something that makes you guys scratch your head is a rarity indeed.
 
So far have found about 500 aircraft wearing the crescent and star. But not this one. Please reveal all !
 
You were searching for the Resit MMV-1 (prototype). Here's the later version (larger V.Stab, different cowling, etc.) - only 1 was built.
 
Hmmmm, looked at the MMV and dismissed it because it looked totally different (tail especially). There you go.....

Now for this wee horror that doesn't look 'right' at all.
 
Ah ha ! That one smoked you out, Ferry. F.K.33 it is, of course.:icon29:

Tell me, did Mr Koolhoven start producing under his own name immediately after this ?
