Hello everyone! Such an elegant seaplane! And well armed, pity it came too late... I noticed it could be used as a dive bomber too, in fact it had three different types of dive brakes (early prod. without perforations, mid prod. with round perforations and later prod. with curved trailing edge and oval perforations).
However I never seen a photo or a drawing showing the trapeze to release the 250kg bomb while clearing the propeller disc (if it ever had), unless the bomb(s) were carried under the wings only. Could someone has a hint?
