Edit: Good night Graeme, sleep well
I'm off to do some gardening, will monitor periodically!
Edit2: Been a quiet day since Graeme left! Turning in myself now; got an early start tomorrow, but will monitor as often as possible
Very dark to begin with....which makes it easier to "silhouette"...

Morning Stig.
There is a Sturtevant S-4 Seaplane that the USN acquired in 1916 which has a very similar tail?
American airplanes: St - Sz

,
That's the one mate; well done
