When you see things like this you start to realise just what crazy b@$t@^ds those early airmen were.

Absolutely mate, my hat would be off, if I wore one

Well I do  and it's off to those guys too.   

That's awesome looking aeroplane for sure. I wonder how many design teams they had on that job, and if they ever actually talked to each other?

And that my friends is something like what a Heyford seaplane could look like...

It would also form the ideal basis for a "Stop that Pigeon" GB build should that topic succeed in the voting this year.

Now there's a thought to conjure with........

But who could possibly have at least 1 3/4 Heyfords in his stash.

That was one of my first thoughts, too! Even though it should then be converted to a monoplane w/o the lower wings?

Wingnut also do the Gotha G1 landline version.

Love the box art. Just wondering what the pilot of that DH 2 is thinking ? 

All you need to do is extend the fuselage down to the lower wing and you have room for passengers - swords into ploughshares ? There was a German WWI prototype design which had a deep fuselage like that as well.

As he's about to have an Eindecker on his tail he's probably thinking 'I'm outa here!'

Or "The Lord's Prayer", in the hope that he'll live to get to the "Amen", because I seem to recall that the Eindecker seriously out-classed the De Havilland pushers in aerial combat.

Outclassed all of it's opponents for a while, whence the "Fokker Scourge", although the DH 2 had some success if a couple of pilots could work together. 2 seat FB 5's used to fly in a defensive circle if attacked by Eindeckers.
