    I could use some help here guys... Or a hint.

    I think it could be a Potez built plane. This has illustrated my lack of material on seaplanes. The wife is going to want to know why I need more books... thanks.

    Ah ha! I found it.

    The Bleriot Bl-118. A trainer, only one was ever built. Flew in 1925.

    I'll try something not so infuriating. Though now I have a dozen web sites with the most obscure french planes ever know. Either way off we go.

    This aircraft was used in the late 70's to mid 80's but was not made public until 1996.
    It does not have a name that I know of but a project name. Stealth was it's game and it was made in the US.

    I hope this one lasts longer ! US made circa 1940 in California. Over 200 were sold to the Navy for some strange reason !

    Looks like a Grumman G-21A Goose. The USN version is the JRF-1 to 6 and at least 50 served with the RAF and RCAF as teh Goose IA

    That's what I was going to add. That is looks like a Grumman but I cant see them in California, nor can I find this as a plane they built. Nor does yours look like a float plane

    Hum.

    Ah, the "great" TA Gardner is flawed after all. :D

    Tikilal, you are on the right track ! Take six more guesses and that will be 1000 !
