Jemiba said:
A prototype was ordered in 1939 and a mock-up was built during this
year (see attached photos from Le Trai d'Union March/April 1993)
The prototype was to have been powered by four Hispano 12Xcrs, other
versions of the Hispano 12 and the GR 14R were envisaged, too.
At a weight of 12.000 kg it should have been able to reach a speed
of 550 km/h at 5400m altitude. Length 17,3m, span 24m,
bomb load would have been 1200 kg, defensive armament 2 x 7.5mm
machine guns and a 20mm Hispano gun.

Sorry Jemiba, so these photos of prototype/mock-up pertains to the Air Couzinet 20B4 bomber project?
