 So much for the romance of the Flying boat! Until the spin started, I thought I was seeing a very sophisticated RC model.
I had no idea there were any Do-24s still around, let alone flying.

There's not many and the one shown is actually a Do 24 ATT flown by Iren Dornier, grandson of Claude Dornier.  You can see more here:  http://iren-dornier.com/en/diary-of-a-dream.html (http://iren-dornier.com/en/diary-of-a-dream.html) and https://www.facebook.com/pg/Do24ATT/photos/?ref=page_internal (https://www.facebook.com/pg/Do24ATT/photos/?ref=page_internal)
