It seems Edo would make floats for almost anything…scroll down a bit

Thanks, I know that really great source for EDO related photos.

I think it was normal practice for the time, I am sure the Portsmouth Aerocar was also shown in advertising on wheels, floats and skis.

You’re right!

Proposed EDO floats for the Percival Prince
10100 lbs water displacement (single float)
compared with
29400 lbs water displacement (single float)
EDO floats for the C-47

Eek!!!

Ok, huge in comparison to a Prince then 🙂

I have seen a GA drawing of this configuration and the floats are HUGE!

There was a mass of proposed variants that, as far as I know, never got off the design board.

In the same pile of drawings there was also a GA of a jet powered version!!

Well, apparently such a project was assigned a Percival project designation: P71- Prince float

But, that’s all I can find.
