context_page_description: The SPCA 40T, also designated the SPCA VII, was a mailplane built in France in the late 1920s. It was a high-wing monoplane of conventional layout with a thick-sectioned, cantilever wing. The flight deck and cargo bay were fully enclosed, and the latter could be adapted to seat five passengers. The fixed undercarriage consisted of divided main units with spatted wheels, plus a tailskid. Construction was of metal throughout.
  The two 40Ts were followed by a single example designated 41T with more powerful Salmson 9Nc engines that first flew on 12 December 1931. Services Aeriens de Madagascar operated the 41T between Tananarive and Broken Hill.
  Eventually, the 40Ts were fitted with this same engine, at which time they were redesignated SPCA 218.
