The Brochet MB.80 was a two-seat light aircraft developed in France in the early 1950s.

Design and development

The MB.80 was a derivative of the Brochet MB.70, using essentially the same airframe, but with a wider fuselage and revised undercarriage. The Service de l'Aviation Légère et Sportive purchased ten examples for distribution to French aeroclubs. Most examples were operated in France, but one example was later sold privately to the United Kingdom.
