Hi,

twin-boom bomber with speed 200 km/h,it was powered
by two Lorraine 12dB engines,mounted in tandem.

Is this a modification of the long ranger record breaker?

 

[airman]

interesting, but surely they understood that S.55 was better !

This land-based S.55 could have less weight maybe, thus more range or speed, no?

 

[Grey Havoc]

Probably range, I would say.

Perhaps, the predecessor of S.64?
