Maybe not, MM. It could be that someone has just removed the wheels! However if you look closely at the original photogragh, the ‘slab’ float (if that is what it is) is significantly lower, and not attached to the fuselage, than the lower sesquiplane wing in the photograph that you’ve posted. Also the aeroplane in the hangar, in the original photograph, appears to have a two bladed prop, whearas that in the most recent photograph seems to have either a four bladed prop or a pair of two bladed props.
I may be totally wrong but I think the wheels are still attached and the float/wing is possibly awaiting attachment. I’ve tried tweaking the photo a bit and I think I’m seeing a wheel? Agreed re. the prop though.
Hi AA,
This example has a very similar strut arrangement to the one in the hangar. Although it’s difficult to see the complete registration I think it is F-AIGE. Is it definitely a float we are looking at underneath the aircraft in the hangar?Â

Header is fixed for me (on Opera). I still feel it’s a bit on the big side though. Ditto the thread title. No arrows at all either. Just tried Drag and Drop with a photo of a Wildcat – looks like the ratio’s changed!
