Silhouette challenge
Somewhat like an Albatross C type on floats.
Still searching.

Manufacturer/designer middle name is Gustav. Benz engine.
In case you hadn't noticed, there are twin fins on the end of booms.

Hi LM,
I think it's the Ago Tractor Seaplane of 1914. (possibly AKA as Ago W2 of 1913)
All I can find so far

Gotta get back to work now, so Open House please if correct.

Hi TC. Nice piece of research.
Otherwise known as the AGO Seedoppeldecker "Sea Biplane".
Somewhat unusual in that the floats were not stepped.
Several versions were made.
TC has declared Open House.......

Hi LM,
Sorry mate! Been home, slept (a little) and back at work since my last post, it's been one of those weeks! Now on lunch break and only fifteen minutes left. I was hoping to find that someone had posted something by now, but it does seem very quiet at the moment doesn't it. I'm sorry that I'm not able to post at the moment and hope that it won't be too long before I get a decent connection at home so that I can take my share of duty!
I only see a couple of names on-line I recognise, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you took another turn! 'tiz a bit unfair on you though as you miss all the fun!
BTW, a couple of interesting facts I gleaned from your last challenge (although I'm sure you already know, but others may not)!
Gustav Otto of Aerowerke Gustav Otto (AGO), had quite an influence in the founding of what was to become BMW Motors and his father formulated the eponymous "infernal" combustion engine's "Otto Cycle"

Hi one11,
I think it's the Gnosspelius Gull manufactured by Short Bros for the 1923 Light Plane trials (not sure whether the name Gull was officially used as it seems to be just referred to as "Gnosspelius Light Plane" in the article below).

If correct, Open House Please as I'm currently unable to post.

Hi HD,
Just on coffee break, I think it's the Navarro Naiad of 1946, powered by those distinctive Pobjoy Niagara radials.
If so, then Open House again I'm afraid.
