The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Welcome back Lefty of Arabia. :ernae:

Will post a new one here in a bit. Let me see what I can scare up from the dusty steamer trunk.
 
Should be an english fela... never saw that before, that kind of plane :) some record plane ?
V12 engine...
 
Well I know a certain tome in your possession starts at 1930, but even if it were earlier, you wouldn't find this bird in it, because she ain't Italian !
 
V engines and wings shapes reminds me some french planes but the tails and double ponton just bring perplexity...
Somewhere in germany, baltic or nothern sea perhaps...
Well...
 
Ah, I see :) it's definetly french but I don't remind this double ponton.
From the tail some FBA prototypearound 1918...
I found a Levy besson triplan with Hispano engines but couldn't find any pictures. I guess I won't find anything more today...
 
The only Levy Besson triplane floater I have found so far is this one. Like fasm said, the tail on Lefty's ship has a FBA look to it.
 
There were several Levy-Besson triplane floaters - the one I think you are referring to is the 'High Seas' Flying Boat pictured here.

The only thing my mystery has in common with the Levy-Besson is the hyphen :mixedsmi:
 
Halbronn-Tord ! HT2 it's seems on the first picture (with lorraine engine).
Produced by Labourdette a Famous Coachbuilder... jeeez didn't knew this one
 
Well done indeed sir ! :guinness: to you. I have it as the Labourdette-Halbronn HT-1.

Where did you see HT2 on the pic, by the way ? A rarity indeed - now give us another, please.
