Wow cringe and there was me thinking this would last a few hours. However, if anyone should get it I knew it would be you . As you know this is the aircraft.

You have control

My Dear cringe you are too modest , I have a feeling you had that one in your arsenal. This one is similar to the Bristol Bombay but I know it is not the Bombay but it is the same era?

I'm currently separated from my "arsenal" and was lucky to have recognised the type.

Yes, this one is roughly from the same era as the Bristol Bombay.

Congratulations on getting the Br.27 without your "arsenal", you never cease to amaze me
How about the Amiot 144 for this one, the control wheel is similar to the one on the Amiot 143? If not the 143 how about a Farman F-220 or 224?

Apologies for the delay.

evansb,

Seaplane, though not a flying boat.

Mel,

Neither an Amiot nor a Farman. Apparently this type was nicknamed "flying cathedral".

Another pic:

Most unusual configuration in that the pilot and co-pilot have seats in tandem with access to the nose on the starboard side.Not Russian and Italian yet also not by the major French manufacturers. Possibly a British aicraft even a Handley Page Aircraft?
