hesham said:Thank you my dear Jemiba,
And now we know a little proposals for this competition,such as
Bristol-206 & 207,Avro-745,Breguet-1150,Piaggio P.155,Dornier
P.340 and Nord (may be N-2510).
hesham said:... what was the Canadair project to this competition ?.
"Hi Everyone.
Found the attached photo at the Heathrow Air Fair last Sunday. It shows a model of the Piaggio P.155 flying boat project on display at an industry show somewhere. My knowledge of Italian flying boats is zero, so I wondered if anyone had any information please. I don't even know if this design was ever built or flown because I cannot find any references to it anywhere. I am assuming 1950s but the photo has no information on the back.
Thanks to all of you for your support again this year. Very Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
Tony Buttler"

Jemiba said:From InterAvia, July 1957 the Piaggio P.155 SAM-1 SAR variant, ASW variant AS with PTL-engines
and the P.155X for 20 to 30 passengers and PTL engines, too. The side view of the P.155 SAM.1
comes from InterAvia, May 1957

Hi Chris,
of course it was from two sources,Aeroplane Monthly,but I don't remember the issue
number,and from Flying Review 2/1959,but it's not the problem,the problem is how
to get all those mysteries or gaps,I suggest that;
Blackburn SP-?
Handley Page HP.121 (only my guess)
Shorts PD.?
Vickers Type-8xx
SABCA S-5x
Dassault MD-?
Sud Aviation X-2xx
DHC P.?
Fokker P.2xx
I have doubts given that the Atlantic contest was 1959 and the design work for the F.27 Martime didn't begin until 1975...e fokker one is actually the fokker f.27-200MAR the maritime patrol version of the f.27
