After completing
his schooling, Pierre MARCADET began his mechanic-auto apprenticeship
at the age of 14 at Base 109 in Tours.
In 1936/1937, he joined the French Air Force. He wanted to be
a pilot but was refused for medical reasons.
He had an operation to solve the problem, but the army refused,
even though Pierre MARCADET already held a pilot's licence in
civilian life.
Around 1938, he was posted as a machine-gunner to the GB II/22,
which became the GR II/22 in February 1939.
He fought in the French Campaign with the Group.
After the war, he became an aircraft mechanic for the army (civilian
staff), and worked on the first jet aircraft.
During his long career, which ended in 1976 at Base 705 in Tours,
he was awarded the "meilleur ouvrier de France" diploma
in mechanics.

| MUDRY
Auguste - François |
Sergeant
|
|
Pilot
|
In 1936, Auguste MUDRY
became a military mechanic and graduated top of his class
as a student pilot at Istres. He was sent on training in the
winter of 1939 and did not return until 10 June 1940, without
being able to take part in the fighting.
He went on to become a civil servant in the finance department
and then a professional pilot.
In 1953, he reorganised gliding in France and was behind the
creation of the FFVV (Fédération Française
de Vol à Voile - French Gliding Federation), of which
he was the 1st President in 1966.1958, he created CAARP (Coopérative
des Ateliers Aéronautiques de la Région Parisienne
- Paris Region Aeronautical Workshops Cooperative) in Beynes
(78) and built CP320 Emeraude aircraft designed by Claude
Piel. In 1965, he designed the CP100 based on an Emeraude,
then the Cap 10 in 1968, a two-seater aerobatic training aircraft.
The Cap 10 was built in 300 units and was purchased by the
French Air Force and Navy for initial pilot training. In the
civilian sector, this aircraft was to revive aerobatics in
France. Widely used throughout the world, in numerous flying
clubs and private associations, it marked the beginning of
the long line of Mudry aircraft.
In 1969, the Cap 20
made its first flight as a single-seater competition aircraft.
In 1978, CAARP ceased operations and the company "Avions
Mudry" was created in Bernay in the Eure region.
The CAP 20 competition single-seater underwent continuous
improvements for more than 24 years, giving rise in 1985 to
the Cap 230, an international-level competition single-seater.
It was upgraded in 1990 to the Cap 231 and then the Cap 232.
Thanks to this series of aircraft, a number of French pilots
went on to become European and world aerobatics champions,
and in the hands of the talented Claude Bessière, then
a pilot with the French Air Force aerobatics team, it enabled
the small manufacturer to win its first aerobatics World Cup.
In 1994, Xavier de Lapparent took over from the E.V.A.A. competitor,
becoming world champion pilot and Auguste Mudry constructor.
While the commercial court ordered the sale of Mudry et Cie
in 1997, the following year the CAP 232 'Breitling' became
world aerobatic champion, as if to salute Auguste Mudry, who
had been wounded in the flesh. Captain Patrick Paris took
the well-deserved title, demonstrating a clear and unusual
superiority in this discipline.
The Cap 10 and Cap 232 have been built by APEX Aviation since
1997.
Auguste Mudry died in Bernay (Eure) on 5 August 2006, in his
91st year. His grave is in Seytroux, in his native Haute-Savoie.
