Navy PN-7 or PN-9? (If American).

Nope. Planing hull looks wrong...

Any ideas TC?

I've been through my "hundreds of flying boats" site and can't find it.

David, looks like Walter has logged off at the moment so I might do the same and look at the Japanese(?) possibilities. Cheers mate!

You're right about reading the Aeroplane Monthly, but only for the last year! I have read Flight since the early fifties, but most are in the attic, still tied-up since the last house move. Mum died thirty years ago and dad twenty before that. Never been out of work since I left school and intend to stay that way (moderately winding down though) 'till some bugger screws the lid down!!

Will be around and about for another three hours or so, work and play.

My CE wants me to stay on past 65.

No ideas at the moment LM, except that on past form it's unlikely to be American, WK has a prediliction for the French, but it doesn't really look like that does it.

Lunch break now, so a chance to trawl, I will have to get some books though, I've only got an Observers '59 (I think), but haven't seen it since the last move and a '62 Green's World Aircraft Directory, so everything is off the Web for me and it seems that my favourite search engine isn't a patch on what it used to be!

Agreed TC. It has to be from this side of the Atlantic, but where?

I'm wondering if he's being devious and has gone North of Holland.....

Out Of Trim,

If you look closely there is no way this is a Canadian Vickers.

Wossa night shift doing, apart from selecting another bottle?

Sorry, not Japanese, not Canadian.

On the Larkin Skylark, it seems it was intended with a detachable lower fuselage hull to allow operations from water. This never materialized and possibly even two aircraft were built (one, N1LA, by designer and one from plans).
