The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I'd imagine, Keith, if you did an appropriate interior, there ain't going to be too many people challenging it !

I'm going to break the rules here - this floater, sadly, never flew, due to the death of its builder, but it has a truly fascinating history....an extra dram if you can tell me said builder's other famous creation !

The AL-06 was exhibited at the Paris Salon. I remember the photograph appearing either here or on the Key Publishing 'wot plane' thread.

Now I remember why I remembered. It's because the AL-06 was exhibited right in front of the ill fated NC.211 Cormoran at the 1946 Salon - as can be seen in the attached photograph.

Hi Mike :encouragement:
Your blue and silver beauty is the Goldfinch Amphibian 161 by Leslie Goldfinch. Now in the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum.
Would ypu know whether the engine is A65 pf C90?
 
That's the one, Walter - designed by 'Bill' Goldfinch who built, of course, the legendary Colditz glider.
Haven't a clue about the engine ! :very_drunk:
 
Thank you Mike:encouragement:
This is a one-of, but the builder has many more to his name.
