Ahhhh....I see.



Aerofiles?

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 09:06

Might be worth a try.............

Noyade 22nd Aug 2011 09:08

Military or civilian mate?

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 09:13

I think it was military.

edit: yes it was.

Noyade 22nd Aug 2011 09:19

Adopted by the US Navy?

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 09:21

Well yes.

More accurately built for the USN for one purpose.

Two choices:

1. Wanna photo?

2. What that pupose was?

RegDep 22nd Aug 2011 09:29

I vote for purpose, but before that: A Boeing?

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 09:30

Not a Boeing mate.

RegDep 22nd Aug 2011 09:34

The tail is like a Smurf's hat. Should be very distinctive :hmm:.

Purpose (unless Graeme opposes)?

Noyade 22nd Aug 2011 09:36

Fine mate.

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 09:42

OK, this should do it:


USN testing of pontoons

RegDep 22nd Aug 2011 09:45

Ach, that's what I suspected all the way. One would find it as a land plane…..

Washington Navy Yard Seaplane aka Richardson 82-A

No you wouldn't.

RegDep 22nd Aug 2011 09:47

Agreed. See above.
