its 0747 now. I get up early in the week because the better half leaves for work at 0615 and so I get up too!

Your SC looks more modern than it first appers to be. Would that be true?

Yes, I'd call this a modern aircraft. Thanks for the answers above. It's 1730 hrs here and getting tea ready. Alcohol time is 1800 hrs.

It's a biplane! Will that do for an answer?

There's something odd about the tail...photoshop anomaly?

Oh, I dunno...German?, WWI, Lohner....?

What's that darling?...teas ready?...I'll be there in a minute! I'm just waiting for Mr Photoshop to reply...

As far as I know, only one photograph of it exists.

I have re-checked it, and that is exactly how the tail looks.

It's on the web, if you're a good navigator.

I give you one of the world's most popular homebuilts in floatplane form and you give us one with only one known photograph?! That doesn't seem fair now does it?

This isn't from that wretched "Breguet's Challenge" site is it? If it is I'm picking up my soccer ball and going home...
