12 JUL 06: SWARM OF SEAPLANES

Aircraft and crews flew in from all over Europe for the bi-annual four-day floatplane meet at Biscarrosse last month.

Visitors came from Sweden (Cessna 208 Caravan), the Netherlands (Cessna 185), Italy (Aero- Club Como), UK (the new Amphibious Flying Club’s Maule M7-235) and there was even a Portugal- based Brazilian-designed microlight seaplane.

The French group based at Biscarrosse produced everything from a converted pedalo with a wing and engine to microlight amphibians. During the afternoon’s flying displays, the stars were undoubtedly the big boats.

Fresh from the Berlin ILA (LOOP, June 06) was the Philippines registered Do24ATT and Duxford’s own PBY-5A Catalina. Biscarrosse’s ancestry as the French national seaplane base means that the facilities include moorings for straight-fl oats and ramp parking for amphibians.
