Blohm and Voss BV-138. Looked strange enough, I could not resist.

Hi Boikat...very nice shots... Wink

At first glance I thought it was an American Northrop P-61 Black Widow and then I thought no that was not a flying boat and this one has three engines. Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Good choice and good job Roy.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I thought the same thing. I wonder if it has any relation to the Widow. The resemblance is awfully striking.

Cool shots!

But it sorta looks like the "union" between a P-61 and a PBY....then 'mama' smoked, drank, and took copious amounts of painkillers during the 'pregnancy.

Thanks guys!

The tail booms do look lika a P-61's, a bit. But being a seaplane with that third engine, it reminds me more of a Grumman Goose that flew a little to close to Chernobyl. Shocked
