The ultimate model in the F.220 series of bombers and transports, the F.224 was intended as a 40-seat airliner. It had four engines in tandem pairs, but could not maintain altitude on two on one side, or maybe not even on three. The six aircraft built went to to the Armée de l'Air as F.224TT transports. The first one is wearing Air France colours here. No 11 on the tailfins is at odds with the reported dual construction number. It must be flying near a French city, but we couldn't identify the large bridge below. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
