Is it British...?

Yes, it is, British to the core. It brought sunshine with it.

Just noticed this thread, but 1950's dials, 2 engines and an early bang seat. It is not a Meteor, so a Javelin or a Scimitar, but the 'sunshine' was to much of a clue!

I reckon it is a Scimitar. If correct then open house.

It surely is the Supermarine Scimitar! Capable of delivering the Red Beard can of instant sunshine. With flying colours you rationalized your way through it :ok:

Open house declared.

Edit: I ran into this picture a while back, carrying interesting set of weaponry.

Thank goodness I've been away on holiday - I now for once, have a proper challenge though given the amazing expertise here I have little hope it will last.
Not exactly mainstream this one - so fire away!

Would it be an airship?

Obviously sitting in a carriage museum! Is the subject a seaplane?

I'm tickled that it is thought to be "sitting in a carriage museum". It is not, though there is one nearby.

Neither is it an airship. (probably too small to qualify for such a grand moniker)

Where you visiting Portugal?

Is it a flying boat?

Not a Portuguese design.
I 42, refer to post 2568.

I am in doubt between the Donnet Leveque flying boats (type a/b/c) and the FBA derivatives.
Cockpit layout seems to be the same for them.
With the horizontal spars just above the fuselage edges.

Or least I could not find different pictures.
Therefore I was trying to prope which museum you visited.
Perhaps you can give a clue in where the differences can be recognized?

Well, that's a very fine bit of sleuthing from SLB, I'd never heard of either Donnet Leveque or FBA before I encountred this beauty. I wouldn't have a scooby about their differences, sorry! I just saw this thing in a museum and thought, "hey, there's a rare one for the challenge". I might have known it wouldn't last long against some of the intellects here!

I imagine it is now merely a formality but I shall leave it to you (unless someone else beats you to it) to make the definitive judgment.

I say again, "it is not a Portuguese design".
There is a coach museum nearby.

That should do it!

Then I single out the FBA B in the Museu de Marinha in Lisbon.
With the National coach museum just a few blocks away.

And by the way, this was not an easy one. Keep them coming like that!

Correct, Lisbon Maritime Museum's Shreck FBA. Well done, there wasn't much to go on!

I wish I had more like that - I didn't expect to get a pic for this thread when I walked into the museum.

asw28, the carriage wheels you spotted are horse-drawn fire pumps or shore-rescue tenders of some sort.

Thanks Mel.

I am not sure what to conclude

​​​​​​- no interest in small classic jets
- cropping was successful
I can only do something about the last:
