[hesham]

Hi,

anther mystery French competition,it was from 1930,and intended for two
seat observation catapult-launched seaplane,the main tenders were;
Romano,Besson,Gourdou-Leseurre GL-831,FBA,CAMS,Levasseur,Bodiansky
and Potez-450.
I check for the unknown aircraft and projects,the Levaseur was PL-11
and Bodiansky was Type-20 modified as seaplane and for the projects,
the CAMS-90,and I suggest that FBA-300,Romano R.7 or R.8 and Besson
MB-390,can anyone help ?.

For Romano R.50,it was the evolution of R.5.

For Romano R.50,it was the evolution of R.5.

Yes: the Romano R.5 became Romano R.50 F3 when it was militarized. we can guess the inscription R50 on top of the tail.
The Romano R.5/50 answered to 1929 program for "Hydravions biplace de surveillande côtière et de servitude" (Two-seater coastal surveillance and service seaplane). It's not the same program as the 1930 one you listed the concurrents. 1929 concurrents were: Latham 110, CAMS 80, Latécoère 410, Lioré et Olivier H.23-2, Loire 50 (and its derivatves Loire 50bis, 5152, 501 and 502) and Romano R.5. The winner was Loire.

GL-831,Levasseur PL-11,Potez-450 and Romano R.50.

This program is the Bp2 of 1930 for "Hydravions de surveillance biplaces embarqués catapultables avec ailes repliables pour croiseurs de 10 000 T de la Marine. (Classe IXbis). Destiné aux colonies" (Two-seater, catapultable, on-board surveillance seaplanes with folding wings for 10,000 T Navy cruisers (Class IXbis). Intended for the colonies).
The competitors were: Besson MB.41 (and derivatives MB.410/411), Bodianski 30, CAMS 90 (and project CAMS 91), Gourdou-Leseurre GL-830 (and derivatives GL.831 HY and GL.832 HY), Levasseur PL.11 R3b and PL.12 R2b, Potez 45 (and P.450/452) and possibly an unknown Romano project (not confirmed). The winner was the GL-831.

Thanks a lot, Philippe. I think it's always best to provide images for comparison when a competition is discussed, so here goes.
