About the same timeframe as this photo, there was a six engine flyingboat
parked on the
seaplane ramp at Marseilles, France. It had dual rudders mounted on
horizontal stab with pronounced dihedral. Engines had been removed......
could it have been a Short Sunderland? Pictures?


50% more engines than a Sunderland but it sounds like it could be a
Sud-Est
SE200 which apparently languished at Marignanne until the early 1960s.

The attached photo is one of several of the SE200 at:

That's it, Netko!
Ive inquired here every couple of years, and this is the first real
find!
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!
