The SCAN 20 was a small seaplane built in secrecy in 1941, and made its first flight after the liberation of France in October 1945.

I can't think of any airplane in the World today that has this awesomeness about it! There's simply nothing that can match it!

Florida is a great place for #seaplane #flying and what better airplane than a #lakeamphibian?

英 Short S.81 Gun Carrier 大口径機関砲の搭載実験用に作られた試験機。当時としては破格のVickers QF 1.5 pounder gun(37mm)を搭載したが撃つ度に失速した。その後は無反動砲である6 pounder David gun(57mm)や発電機&探照灯と重たいものを載せ続け1915年10月に退役。全1機。

英 Gloster VI 1929年の大会用に作られたレース機。Gloster社はこれまで複葉機を設計していたが時代の流れに逆らえず単葉機となった。ラジエーターを主翼に張り巡らすなど工夫を凝らしていたが大会開催地への輸送時に燃料供給装置が破損、修理が間に合わず棄権する。その後は練習機となった。全2機。

38 seconds from cloud break to touchdown. A tense and focused half-minute in the cockpit. Always feels a little like magic as a pilot, to see the runway appear out of the murk. Well done today’s Air Canada crew!
