History & design
A trainer developed through several engines
Nord’s training-aircraft work progressed from the 3200 through the gull-wing 3201 to the Potez-powered 3202. The 3201 flew in June 1954, but the evaluation found its power insufficient. The 3202 first flew on 17 April 1957, followed by an order in 1958 and the first deliveries in September 1959.

One designation, evolving equipment
The 3202 served in elementary, instrument and aerobatic training, including at Dax and Sidi Bel Abbès. Production changes matter when comparing surviving aircraft: the historical account records the stronger 260 hp Potez installation from number 59 as the 3202B, with navigation and structural changes appearing at other serial numbers. A specification for one aircraft therefore should not silently describe the whole production run.
