Morning Gentlemen.

Bre901 - No not British.

London Jets

Not named after a City.

Single Engine - yes, just the one.

Reconnaissance - No.

LowNSlow - Sorry thats not me.

I was the last of a line of different aircraft built for a specific role, even though I was never used in that role I would have been the best at it.

Peter

I guess you are the Macchi MC72 then
World's fastest seaplane (piston) 709 km/h (440 mph)
Came a bit late for the Schneider Trophy (won by the Supermarine SB6B)

Spot on Bre901.

I am the Macchi MC72

A tick VG and a very well done to you.

I was the last designed for the Schneider Trophy, never took part but I was the fastest propeller driven seaplane and have never been beaten, number one



Over to you Bre901
