  That sure changes the look of the old Beau' ! Love it. I'll take brunette as well.

Just a thought about the name of the flying boat:
1. Based on the example with Torbeau, Beaufighter derivatives may receive names with a suffix Beau, rather than with the same prefix.
2. Flying boats and floatplanes are generally called "hydroplanes" or "seaplanes". Many naval or navalized airplanes have names with the prefix "sea": Seabird, Sea Hawk, Seafire, Sea Venom etc.
3. Seabeau (See-bo) might sound like placebo in the first moment , but reminds me more of a sea-beauty or even sounds like C'est si bon. What in fact this nice whif is!

Oh my ! That looks so cool ! I'd like to pick it up and fly it around the house. Defo an idea worth saving. I did do somat similar with an old Canso back in the day.
