The record distance flight for a seaplane took place on 6th October 1938 when a composite aircraft, which was one mounted atop another, took off from the Tay estuary at Dundee. The smaller top aircraft then separated before flying over 6,000 miles to South West Africa. A memorial to this is on the bank of the river in Dundee.
Very interesting- reminds me of the Mistel. Marcus
ReplyDeleteVery like the Mistel. Just less explosive!
