Another splashy effort.
That's a nice looking boat!
Assuming it's French but not finding one with pusher engines and that distinctive tail.
Your assumption (why automatically French?) is correct - but this baby is obscure. Not on Aviafrance unless it's under another name.
Most of the flying boats of this era that have this look are French. Could this be a Farman F.50? Found reference to a biplane flying boat with "two Lorraine-Dietrich piston engines in pusher-configuration".
It's not a Farman, and the motors are Panhard 235-cv.
I'll leave it open - thought our friend from truffle-land might have snuffled this one up......
Mike, looking at the tail group I'm trying to decipher what I'm seeing.....does this color coding represent the real shape of the tail?
Black - V. Stab / Rudder
Red - Bracing for the secondary/aux stabs
Blue - Horizontal Stab.
Green - Secondary/aux stabs
John, this is the only pic I have, and probably the only one extant, so I know as much as you, I'm afraid !
It looks a little like part of the Latham family. White flag here.
Regretfully I concur with the flag waving
It is the Brun-Cottan Patrol Boat from 1918, tested but did not enter service, nor did the later model from the same company.
This one is of similar vintage, but much easier... I'm off to bed so please continue when you spot it.
Two names for this one....Dornier RS.IV or Zeppelin-Lindau RS.IV.
Open House if correct - I'm away from the books & database for a few days.
I have it as Dornier.....
Something different - but one which will be snapped up in seconds if Wout is lurking, I fear.......
Never seen this one before!
Could not find a thing about the Brun-Cottan boat. A real rarity.
Hi Mike,
I know the country, I know the period, I know the purpose. I know it was not produced in large numbers. Now I wish I remember the name.
I feel sorry (for myself)
Hi Mike,
Took me a while because the builder has a very unusual name.
The Smith Channel Wing. Mr. William M. Smith from Alaska. Circa 1984 and intended for Bush operations. Was in JAWA 1985/1986.
Yep, that's where I found it ! What a memory, Walter.....
I know ag-planes are very popular here. This one if not the best known, but give it a try. :mixedsmi:Attachment 28677
A converted AT-6 ?
Hi Mike,
Could indeed be based on the T-6, but I am not sure.
The name implied it could do a better job than the competition.
PS: Registration is still in the FAA records (as canceled)
Does look like a T-6 conversion with the gear and wing root.
Yep, gotta be a ag-conversion of a T-6. Look at the flat wing root and the gear doors.

This is said to be the (an) Atoka Agmore 600 (N9779). As already noticed by several Forum members, it looks very much like a T-6 conversion and I also vote for that.
Producer is listed as Atoka Aircraft Corporation of Atoka, OK and it must have appeared during the 1960s. The registration was canceled 7 October 1969. I assume that the 600 in the designation stands for either the size of the hopper (600USG) or horsepower.
You (especially Forum members living in Atoka, OK) are kindly invited to provide additional data/details of this aircraft.
OPEN HOUSE please
