Anyone...?

I'm guessing a Corsair after it's home carrier, Formidable, was damaged?

It was a British built plane...

Seafire?

Yepp. Now how was it acquired?

Had to land on US carrier after its own was danaged?

The first part is correct, the second isn't.

I'm stumped then.....

All right, this question is indeed a hard nut to crack. Here's the story: http://www.armouredcarriers.com/-document

Unfortunately I couldn't find any info regarding the faith of the Mike Banyard's Seafire after 'Operation Iceberg'.

After a month … bump?

No …

… so here's a question to be going on with. What aircraft was flown from between its tail fins?

Gee Bee...?

Not them. All had one fin and were flown from ahead of it.

Clue time, then.

It was French.

Payen Pa-22?

That's another one with a single fin and the cockpit built into it. What we're looking for is a twin-finned aircraft with the cockpit between the fins. And 'tis French.

is it the payen 321 ac?

Well, if I could work out where the pilot actually sat in that thing …


I'll give you that one, but it means there's another one out there that might pop up some time.

You have control, over.

ok,since we're speaking french,whatfrench aircraft of the 30'shad twin engines and two fuselages?

Wikipedia says the Blériot 125 but I don't know whether a design which never flew well enough to be given an airworthiness certificate would count.

as long as it flew. the birdie is in your court now.

Okay, what's this?

I'm about to be away from the internet for a week, so even if someone gets the answer I won't know about it.

It is a Burnelli CBY-3 "Lifting Body."

Okay, my nudge worked. Over to you, Karl.
