Hint: It's upside down you don't have to use them to land.
Also; The tire and wheel are attached to a strut just like the wheel-less strut in the foreground.

Close. Float yes, C-47 No.

Woah, I dunno.

I don't mean to argue or discredit you hang the expense, but it just doesn't look like a C-47 float to me, but that was a darn good guess.

Here's a link for a C-47 on floats. It's hard to tell the size of the object in the mystery photograph, but in the C-47 pics it shows how big it was.

Umm... maybe it's an outrigger for a gigantic metal glider?

Jeez.... I have no idea...

I can't wait to find out what it is.

Cheers,

David

Hint #2: The strut in the foreground belongs to a different, but same type, float.
