Perhaps it is the Bernard 191 'Oiseau Canari'?

Hello evansb, not the Douglas Dolphin but it is an American flying boat from the same era.

I remember someone telling me that you guys tried to take the Coen brothers to court for misrepresentation in the movie Fargo.

Fargo (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The strong accent of Jerry and Marge is less common in the Twin Cities, where over 60% of the state's population lives.
(The woodchipper scene is my favourite)

Regards the cockpit - must be the Fleetwings Seabird you recently displayed in SC?
If so, Open House.

There are now three of us who know what that is Graeme, so I'll leave it to TC, unless Brian is into fire-breathing animals of yore.......

Evening.

No mate, you got me all wrong. I was hoping once you found the Dragon you could/would be lead to another American Aircaft Corporation (AAC) product (they had quite a few designs back then).
The tandem cockpit and rear stingers belong to the AAC Penetrator helicopter...



But all's good, carry on.

Dornier 24?

G'day Graeme,

No mate, you got me all wrong.
You certainly had us fooled there mate, I spent so long chasing the Dragon that I had to dash for the shops after you withdrew it and didn't see that the cockpit on the Dragon article David posted looked nothing like the ones above

But all's good, carry on.

Dornier 24?
Thanks mate

No mine isn't a Do.24, why on earth would I post that ? Of course I found a good one of that, but it's been done before!!

You'd better start looking mate, Karl will probably be here soon and mine came from the same source as his Seabird (at least the piccie he used is on there)

Edit:

No excuses there mate, I/we didn't spot the collective lever, of course it wasn't the Dragon !!

Time for bed now, have a good day
