After seeing the painting...I've got to get a Multi seaplane rating!

Only 10 big ones made at 800 Euro/piece. Smaller versions still available, I think :)

Beauty is timeless my friend. Just ask any (insert favorite warbird here - Mustang, Spit, Corsair...) fan.

Our ladies were briefed accordingly before they went up onto the wing - we have a metalled centre section also.
