The SERAM Type 545 and type 745 "roquette fumigene" was widely used by the French airforce in the late fifties and sixties. As a matter of fact it was aso commonly used by air forces using the better know SERAM T10 rocket in its various declinaisons (HEAT, Frag, etc..) . From photographies it appears very similar in shape and dimensions to the SERAM Type 900 "roquette d'exercice" (training Rocket) except that the head was of the same diameter as the motor body and not wider.
Can someone gives data on this rocket (dimensions, weight, duration of smoke effect, fuze, etc..)?
A few photograps of this rocket:
First a T10 rocket together with a Type 900 training rocket
Here the smoke rocket together with a French smoke grenade, also often used by French spotting planes in operations - I add a better photograph pf this smoke grenades)
The Type 900 under a French Cessna L-19 spotter plane during the war in Algeria in the late fifties/early sixties
And here Together with a Matra Launcher (37mm rockets most probably) unde the wing of a L-19
Whoever can add more details on these rockets is more than welcome
