Found a nice Charles E Brown shot of the Short Shetland prototype. It didn't see service, but what a huge beast !

No my friend those two are Japanese. Aichi E13A1 "Jakes" I think.

OMG! I don't think I would be afraid to land in that thing. It would take 3 months for the water to reach the cockpit!!

Heck of a view from the cockpit!

Love the Blackburn B-20! Heard the crash site is a war grave.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I think that is such a brilliant design!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yeah. Wonder why it wasn't pursued after the crash.

A lot of guys knock french airplanes as being ugly, but I think they are wonderfully weird.

Love the picture of the S.55.

Not sure, but I do know they salvaged the engines, which are on display in a museum.

I think there's more information regarding that, earlier in this thread, when the B.20 was posted before.

This Saro Lerwick was a complete failure!
