... and a hint about HD-21 ?.

I think no ! Couldn't find a clue about a HD-2x , not even in TdU 151. And according to that article, the "HD-21" must have
been a type, which actually was built and flown, because it's flight characteristics were known.
To my opinion, the most probable explanation, is either a typo in "HD-321", or maybe the usage of the shorter "..21", instead
of "321" in the daily language, as princiaplly all HD types then were HD-3xx.
 
Teamed with Sud Aviation Hurel-Dubois perhaps came quite near a
real production contract with the SAHD-120, as a contender for a
tactical transport, that eventually saw the Transall as the winner.

The SAHD 120 looks like a Transall with a typical HD-wing.
I wonder if there are better quality drawings of the SAHD-120; it would be so much fun to convert a Transall model kit into one?
