Well Ton I remain convinced that it's American and I've looked at Timm, Security, Kinner and Waco but the wheels always let me down...



Time for another drink...

It is American, the engine is a Siemens-Halske, and it was built in 1928.

This floatplane is not at all well-known.

It was Canadian.

I just made it into a silhouette.

I know where you have been looking - there's only one site with that one on it.......

Lights, music, please take the stage.

Yeah mate, I gathered that...

Actually, I don't think you know where I've been looking, certainly not ROSEBUD as I find the index too big. Is there a search function?

No, I found it in a book when you mentioned that it was Canadian. Only problem scanning books/magazines is the occasional centreline...see below, my new challenge..



(Completely off-topic but I just read that 'they' want to build a mosque near the World Trade Centre excavation site..un****ing believable?!)
