Moses03, thanks for the info on the Bacon T-6S. Possibly I saw it at Whiteman in the 1980s, but I seem i remember it was another (small) airport
which was closed shortly afterward (had nothing to do with my visit). Nice to see the aircraft apparently is still around.
Sorry for the grainy picture of the new one. I will settle for the original (planned) designation and for the real designation. Just one tip, it it postwar
Well it's got lots of de Schelde and Diepen-Difoga about it, but I think we're going to have to wait until the Texan Twin-Boom Tycoon swings into action later.
Worked up a good sweat but didn't hit on anything. Probably European but has some USA feel to it as well.

Moses03 and Lefty, this ttbppfg is European, but no influence from the low lands. The company that initially was involved was also responsible for a a small flying boat (trainer, postwar) and a US amphibian twin built with indigenous engines.
Italian ? Piaggio ? Nardi ? S-M ?
Sorry Lefty, not Italian.
Well the only company that fits your last clues is S.C.A.N., but I can't find this little blighter anywhere.
Okay Wout, we have been taunted long enough.

Me too. You haven't mixed up your S.C.A.N.'s and S.E.C.A.N.'s, by any chance ?
Lefty, S.C.A.N. it is.
Of course the trainer boat was the SCAN-20 and the US twin amphib the Widgeon with French engines was the SCAN-30.
The twin boomer was designed by M.Roussel (Roussel 30 light fighter 1939) and construction of a prototype was started by SCAN around 1947. Plans existed to market it as the SCAN-40 Scanton. When SCAN lost interest the project lingered on till around 1952 when M.Roussel completed it as the Roussel Model 40 Hirondelle. Trials started in 1953, but it seems the aircraft was not really flight tested. The engine was a 1600cc unit designerd by Mr. Roussel.
New one is a whirly bird
S.N.C.A.S.E. SE.3120 Alouette F-WGGE. (2nd prototype)
