OMG! I don't think I would be afraid to land in that thing. It would take 3 months for the water to reach the cockpit!!

Yeah. Wonder why it wasn't pursued after the crash.

A lot of guys knock french airplanes as being ugly, but I think they are wonderfully weird.

Love the picture of the S.55.

Not sure, but I do know they salvaged the engines, which are on display in a museum.

I think there's more information regarding that, earlier in this thread, when the B.20 was posted before.
