Another variation on the "Just dropped in for tea..." theme, we know nothing about this accident other than that the aircraft was a Morane Saulnier variant and that it took place not later than 1930.
F-AITT Morane Saulnier MS.191 no.38 was owned by Compagnie Francaise d'Aviation and regd 18.9.28. It was used for training reserve pilots and one such, Andre Laborie from Orly, flew too low over Saint Maur on 17.3.29 and collided with the roof as shown. The aircraft was rebuilt, was again damaged on 27.8.31 but survived until the War.
