Very high speed, floats almost retracted, and just about to leave the water on take-off from the Hoornsche Hop off Hoorn, on one of several pleasure flights. Photo taken from a bumpy RIB (rigid-inflatable boat). Unfortunately this magnificent aircraft was sold to the Collins Foundation on 11 Oct 2018. It left Dutch waters forever on delivery to the USA on 29 May 2019. This photo is copyright © Aad van der Voet, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
