Ah, that's what I like to see! You can never have too many struts!

The first class accommodation looks great, not sure about steerage though...
The only volunteer that came forward to test fly it was young James from Halfpenny Green who was desperately building up his flying hours. Just about scraped a dubious 5 seconds of single engine piston time.

Having briefed the manufacturer, Hoskins was regretting his stutter when he requested a high w w w w w w w w w w w w…. winged a a…. aircraft.
Hard to tack those horizontal combo sail wing thingies into the wind . Might need to convert some horizontal structure to the vertical for some better bite of the wind . Obviously not a Piaggio design floatplane .
That years entry for the Schneider trophy never did get off the step , engineer claims it was probably due to the stowaways from Lake Geneva not his perfect design.
