I'll put this up. Not hard and I know Graeme would get it in a heartbeat, but he's not looking

Incidentally Noyade commented on being unable to access Aerofiles. i can still get in via my bookmarked URL but going in via Google comes up with "This Site may harm your computer"

I hope we are not seeing the beginning of the end of this fantastic site following the death of its creator K O Eckland in May last year

Aerofiles.com seems to be "dirty".
This is working, in Opera at least.
You just landed at AeroFiles!

Hi Doug, nice bit of pruning I must say but I think I found it, the Honningstad 5A Finnmark. The only picture I have shows it differently with two-bladed props and no floats?! Your "sponsonless" version is completely new to me. (Thanks to you and sablatnic for the Aerofiles situation, I don't know what "Opera" is, but it works. )

Over to you Noyade. My source says the Finnmark was converted from the original wheel/ski amphibian to a true Flying Boat with 2 floats replacing the sponsons in 1954 but the 2 to 3 blade prop conversion was earlier.

Sorry Richard, not from Vought. This is the prototype, production aircraft didn't keep the spinner.

Welcome trucky but sorry mate, not the Model 203. This is a fighter aircraft (carrier based).

That's the one Richard. The XF2B-1 (model 69) which was the prototype for the F2B-1. Your control.
