Many thanks, Graeme. Funnily enough I went to Sealand several times when I was an Air Cadet. Of course by then it was simply a maintenance depot with no flying taking place.

Graeme,

Sorry brother, I honestly don't know. Was looking up something else on the internet and this showed up. Sorry.

Kindda like "I was looking for one specific book...but then this other one caught my eye and I just had to!", right?

Yeah...I know. Weak willed like the rest of us. Then again, I've always had a soft spot for seaplanes and floatplanes. There's just something about them...just cool-looking.

This SNCASE SE-200 crashed the 18th of October 1949 in Etang de Berre, a lake near Marseille (France)

Found this as a photo caption (Could she have been sitting there for 18 years and look this good? I doubt it, but the quality of the photo speaks 1960's to me.):

Marignane 1965

Found this on F-BAIY (Confirms post above):
