There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The background machine is indeed a Levy-Besson 200 hp - well spotted. According to my very rusty French, 'Alerte' was a sort of rapid-response maritime aviation programme to which several types were designed (FBA, Paul Schmitt, etc). Maybe Yann, Wout or someone could tell us more.
However, surprise surprise, you have hit on the right part of the world. The twin-hull, however, is not in 'that' site........

Very similar, but the Halbronns were of course triplanes. This is the L.A.F. Torpilleur designed by a M. Desmons.
It appears the French had nothing much else to do in 17/18 but churn out seaplanes - there are dozens of them.
Can't come up with anything fresh just now, so open house, chaps !
