You should have it Bri....I found this photo entitled Ba.39, but opening up the article showed that it was incorrectly identified, and was in fact the Ba.33S.

Keep looking at the Feiling-1 from China. Doesn't look right but is it Chinese?

Not Chinese. Think off-shore. A 1958 project to be powered by a Continental O-470.

Morning, I'm thinking this may be an I.S.T project from the Philippines? Cannot find any reference to a floatplane, but if their numbering is sequential then is it the I.S.T L-18 (or XL-18)?
