Now more confused....posts seem to keep disappearing!

At 1754 you handed the thread back to SincoTC....now, without a response from Sinco, you have reposted your original offering.

Think its time for me to have a drink! I'll come back later and see what the latest variation is!

Seversky SEV-3M
Spot on mate! One of six that went to the Colombian Air force to operate from narrow rivers and high-altitude fields. I read somewhere that a similar Seversky machine still holds the world's fastest prop-driven amphibian record?

Your Control.
