*laughs* I like all three of those suggestions. Yeah, it was probably the Farman as it's been quite a while since I looked over French aircraft of the 1930s. On the other hand, consider some of the French twins, such as the Bloch MB-200 or Potez 540, with pusher engines added to the nacelles and a fifth engine in the nose. Stepping back farther than the Catalina in the US, a Consolidated P2Y with a centerline engine and pusher engines added to the existing engine nacelles would work as would a stretched version, in length and span, with a centerline and two more outboard engine nacelles.
