The bizarre Blériot 125 airliner. The twin fuselages could accommodate six passengers each, while the three crew rode in the central nacelle which also housed two Hispano-Suiza 12Hbr engines in tandem. Blériot chief pilot Charles Quatremare made the first flight on 9 March 1931, but flying characteristics were very poor. Work on the craft continued into 1933, but to no avail. Registration F-ALZD allocated but perhaps never worn. Note the 'Hôtel Blériot' at Buc.
