I'm intrigued by the shadow.

Wossa jobber protruding from the left tailplane?

the left tailplane is elevator down. Maybe that is the shadow that you can see?

I didn't see a Sirius, mate!

Hi skytrain10, dont`t blame the computer! If you had just waited taking your second cup of coffee, you would have saved valuable time.
Let`s wait for RRs judgement. Imagine we are both wrong? Reputations gone.

Just in case you are not wrong WK, your next one is ready to go.

Now I see what the "jobber" is - it's an aileron mass balance!

Thats worrying...you know me too well...and you're probably right! I can't really blame the pc...it was 1237 when I tried to post (after my coffee!)....you were ahead of me anyway.

Very true!

I tell you one thing RR,

It's got to be European from somewhere, or Scandinavian.

From the front view it appears that it may have folding wings, although this does not show from above. A ship/submarine based aircraft....German?

Had a real hectic day today, knocking-off now and only time for a short look with only hunches to go on!

Not had much luck and gotta to go now; so a parting shot based on the fact that it's a twin-float sesquiplane, powered by a nine-cylinder radial engine and that it's predecessor had full span ailerons.

French, only one built and Bu**er all on the web in the way of drawings or photos, so it would be an ideal challenge!!

Is it the Levy Biche LB-4 seaplane of 1927 powered by a 420 hp Gnome & Rhone 9AB ??

Open house Please in the exceedingly unlikey event of this being correct.
