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.

Thank you, Chris, Here's something that's modern, but not quite as modern as the Alpi.

You could have had it as a floater too, Mike!

p.s. I think that you missed the clue contained in my last post.

Thank you, Uli. I thought that I was going to have to spell it out! Next mystery from Germany, please.

Thanks Uli - we will stick with the watery theme - I think this fellow found a bigger pond to float his creation in !
It might have been a tight squeeze for me too -
(There is some doubt about how far it actually flew, but I think it is interesting anyway. In Aerofiles but no pic)

Hi Mike
This seaplane was built by Harvey Mace and Al Trefethen and registered N90522. It used the wings, tail section and rear fuselage of the 1940s Parks PAR-1 racer which were mated to a new forward fuselage and engine installation (one 100hp Continental O-200-A). The aircraft was nearing completion in late-1967, but did not fly.
(I had some correspondence with Mr. Mace many years ago and he confirmed that)
PS: She was known as the Seamaster and sometimes as Blue Bullet.

That's the one, Walter - comprehensive as ever ! Over to you, sir - 
When you think about it, 100hp isn't enough to try and lift all that stuff off the water. Nice story here -
