Aircraft ID needed , Belgium 1925

[andreas g]

I am looking for the name of an aircraft, which started in april 1925 the
connection between Belgium and Congo. The airplane called Princesse
Marie-Jose. A doublewing enclosed (6 wheels, 3 motors?).

Any clue?

A SABCA built W.8e ( 2 x Siddely Puma and 1 x Eagle IX), the W.8g was a
conversion to 2 x RR F.XIIA.

Reference is Handley Page Aircraft since 1907, C H Barnes, Putnam, 1976
