The Sopwiths F-AEAB to 'E are believed probably to be 1 1/2 Strutters. In this photograph a civilianised but unregistered 1 1/2 Strutter is seen exceptionally on floats with a protective cover over the rear cockpit. The floats, unusually turned up at the rear, are unique and the tailskid is still fitted but no tail float, so what happened next?

F.60 F-ADFN with 400 hp Lorraine 12Db 12-cyl W water-cooled engine, one of several engines used after the Salmson. The Goliath's square tipped wings had a span of 26.5 m (86 ft 11 in.) except for some early versions with ailerons extending beyond the mainplanes making the span 28m (91ft 10 in.)

F-ADFN was converted to F.61 and fitted with floats for an attempt on the South Atlantic crossing by De St. Roman, Mouneyres and Petit in May 1927 but unfortunately they were lost at sea. Goliath floatplanes were also used by the military.

F-ADFQ in its 1929 form as F.63bis with 380 hp Gnome-Rhone 9Aa (licence-built Bristol Jupiter) 9-cyl radial engines. The Jupiters were very popular due to their reliability.

F-AEAU as Farman F.61 with 300 hp Renault 12Fe engines. It later became an F.63bis, a designation which covered installation of Gnome-Rhone Pegasus or 365 hp Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar III A 14-cyl 2-row radial engines.

Savoia S.16 F-ADFK is represented here by the unknown S.16 displayed at Paris in 1919. The engine was a Fiat A.12bis similar to that in the S.9 but with a new oval radiator. Wing span was 15.5 m (50ft 10in.).

With no photo available of F-ADFI, the Savoia S.9 2-seat biplane flying boat shown has markings which suggest it is probably the prototype. The pusher-mounted engine is the 280/300 hp Fiat A.12bis 6-cyl water-cooled in-line.

Farman F.65 "David" sport two-seater F-AEAT with 60 hp Anzani 6-cyl 2-row radial engine, not to be confused with the F.60 series Goliath airliner!
