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"
