Only 3 of these aircraft were completed and flown the 890H Mercure powered by 2 x 2000 h.p. Bristol Hercules, the 891R Mars powered by 2 x 1,600 h.p Gnome Rhone 14R-200 radials, and the 892S Mercure convertible passenger /cargo plane with 4 x 500 h.p. Renault 12S in line piston engines. This latter model photographed at the top of the page was later converted into a Hercules powered 890H. In the end the French Air Force, the L'Armee de l'Aire ordered the Nord Nortalas.
