Okay, let's refresh with something completely different.

Looks like some oddball mockup, Kevin. Very rum-looking prop, even odder engine, and as for the floats......was this a flier ??
Not a mockup Mike. She was a flier for sure.
The younger sibling of this flying boat appeared in this thread in the distant past. It was of similar layout but most notably had a 2-bladed prop and thicker wing struts.
In which case this must be the Argonaut H-20 Pirate ?
Amazes me how you figured that out with so little info. A pint for the Scotsman on the elder Pirate.
Just detective work as usual ! We haven't had a nice Aggie for a while - how about this one ? (It may have been here before, but can't find it.....)
A Hongdu N-5, perhaps?

Hordern-Richmond Autoplane of 1936.
'pixelatorily' eh ? Try saying that after a couple of Calvas........
I have the feeling Mike has been waiting to unleash this monograin on us!
I can assure you, gentlemen, that what I've offered is not the Russ Conway Pixillated Penguin!
Well, my granny used to like Russ Conway, Mike.....
Actually this unlovely machine is the 1925 B.A.E.G. A20 Monoplane, produced by Leopold Bauer and Max Eger in Brunn. 596cc 18 hp Douglas engine..
While waiting for Pomme homme, I need some help from you fellows, and am sure some of you will have the answer ! Whilst researching, I came across, in the 1947 Jane's, a description of a Sud-Ouest machine, the G.L.3 Libellule, a sporting twin-boom pusher with Praga engine. There is a full description with dimensions etc., but no illustration.
Can't find out any more, expect for another reference to a Lasserre G.L.3 Libellule, presumably the same aircraft. Can anyone enlighten me, please, as to whether it was ever built and flown ?
Well, I suppose someone had to! Did she like Winifred Atwell as well?
Indeed it is. It was produced as a Volksflugzeug but, presumably, der Volk didn't agree as there was only one and der Osterreicher, as a people, weren't prepared to queue for long enough to get their turn to fly it!Actually this unlovely machine is the 1925 B.A.E.G. A20 Monoplane, produced by Leopold Bauer and Max Eger in Brunn. 596cc 18 hp Douglas engine..
Over to you, Mike.
Thanks Mike - my grubbing around didn't reveal that thread !
Am a bit pushed today - here's a very easy one to keep things rolling -
