026 is clearly a Mosquito on deck – going by all the scrambled egg, and absence of wing fold, I’d guess one of the early experimental flights.
In which case is this Captain Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown?
Wasn’t sure whether to post this in this thread, the Balderton thread or the XN728 thread (thread merge!):
Nevertheless, early 1990s photo of the A1 Lightning, taken by me as a kid using an old instamatic.
For example the underwing floats on a Supermarine Southampton (similar wooden hull construction – not sure about floats) are only about 12 feet long.
Subject to a check of the measurements I think that’s a good shout..
Photo from martinphotos…on the Tigris, Iraq.
