• 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.

BTW, in your honour I'm about 30 min from Funchal in the Short S.30. Had to borrow one that was diverted to Agadir by the Foreign Office, instead of the usual "Sandy" from Southampton.

On the subject of old times, had to do a double take when taking a refreshment at Edinburgh airport on the way out...caught a glimpse of this out of the window !

Welp, two of our little flying boat were built in 1938. It went through extensive testing to try to cure a number of deficiencies.
 
Sticking with seaplane theme. A new one. Uli I didn't mean you were in Portugal just into Portugal for finding pictures of aircraft.
I will be in Germany late Oct/Early Nov on river cruise on the Danube.

One built in 1928 by the original company, but around 70 similar versions were license made by other well known companies.
