(1931-1941) Potez Po 25 A2

In 1931, in the Greek Air Force's warehouses, there were a number of 500hp Hispano-Suiza engines originally intended to be installed in Bre XIX aircraft. Due to cost considerations, they were installed instead in 24 Potez Po 25 A2 aircraft purchased from France.
These two-seater army cooperation aircraft were given the designation "Greek aircraft" ("Greq Avion") by the manufacturer. As the Po25 had been designed for a different type of engine, in order for these Hispano-Suiza to be installed, a 25kg ballast was added on the tail. According to critics, this caused several accidents.
