Dan Pub, nobody is showing off – we don’t all know the answers, far from it. The fun is learning about obscure aircraft, and that is what the thread is all about.

Sorry if our ‘comical’ grammar upsets you – not much we can do about that.

I think that’s the Shavrov Sh-7.

Thanks RAB – here’s another water bird – an elegant and sporty-looking one..

I wondered if anyone ever bought it !
