The bigger picture
 
Sorry guys, fatigue set in last night. (The problem with the time difference reminds me of the movie "Ladyhawke" from the 80's)

No David, it's scanned, you should know me by now! :)

It's a ringer for this one, but it's a flying boat.

Was there ever a land-based version?

Just discovered that there was - the model F1A.

Thanks Graeme.

I couldn't find any photos of it though, except on one site which refused to show me "copyrighted image".

Now we know that it was a converted flying boat, it explains the nosewheel. A flying boat is never designed to be tail-heavy.

Here's another one for a lazy Sunday:
