Hello, caption says this is a captured British seaplane, any one has a clue about the type? regards, Cnock
30 minutes of searching and I found nothing. You have a float plane with two engines and a position at the front for a gunner or observer. I suspect it's a rara avis from a minor country.
..doesn't look like fun taking off in that ...some one on WW2F should know what it is ..where did the picture come from/etc ?
On 29 February 1932 four aviators flew out of Cologne, Germany on a round-the-world flight attempt. The group comprised pilot Hans Bertram, co-pilot Thom, mechanic Adolph Klausmann and cameraman Alexander von Lagorio, and was intended to find potential markets for Germany's aviation industry as well as a goodwill tour visiting German communities along the route. The plane was a Junkers W 33 seaplane (float configuration), registration D-1925, named Atlantis In 1932, pilot Hans Bertram and mechanic Adolph Klausmann were rescued while attempting to circumnavigate the world in a Junkers W 33 seaplane. After departing Koepang, Indonesia, they endured a storm in the Timor Sea on 15 May and were forced to land in a remote coastal area of the Kimberley region, North-Western Australia. The stranded men spent almost six weeks severely deprived of food and water and were close to death when they were rescued by a group of local Aboriginal fishermen on 22 June
