It was designed for use equally on land and water.
I tried googling the "world's ugliest amphibian" and I got a picture of an ugly frog.

Something like that yes, with the floats digitally removed.

Except that the floats were not detachable.

Ken! Are you still on page pp 617? Come on over to pp 618. Isn't this sort of thing right up your alley?

Don't need your commie rats in dressing-gowns. We need Sinco. The "Stig" of Silhouette Challenge.

Some say he was born in an aviation bookshop...

So it landed as a land-plane on the floats (with wheels obviously!)

If you look at my silhouette and not yours, you will see that the wheels are fixed beneath the floats.

Mind you, Graame is famous for lurking in the background and then leaping back....... Since it's now 2325 local in NSW, maybe he really is zzzzzzzzzz.

Yes, and so is........

Some say... he only takes Jet A-1 with his cornflakes,
that he drives to the shops on IFR and,
that that his afterburner is worse than his bite.....

all we know is ... he's called TC!
