    Seaplanes are divided into Floatplanes and Flying Boats.

     

    Both may be classified as Amphibious.

     

    Because the NAX-5 depends on a fuselage/hull for bouyancy it is an Amphibious Flying Boat.

     

    This is an Amphibious Floatplane:

    This is an Amphibious Flying Boat:

    All are Seaplanes.

     

     

    If you wish to be pedantic I should point out that they are also all called aircraft!


    I was only trying to point out that the "Aircraft" in question is capable of both land and sea operation and is therefore "amphibious" as opposed to being a a pure "Seaplane" capable of only seaborne operations!

  2. Thanks for the great Info above re holographic Will.  

    It looks like it is all I require for my single retirement visa bank account to be left to the other half.  She is already sitting on everything else I own in this country anyway.

    Without getting embroiled in the "you must have a witness/do not need a witness" discussion, would I be correct in assuming that it would not do any harm to have a holographic Will witnessed anyway?

    No alcohol sales on October 1st for the end of buddhist lent.

    That is what I assumed going by your holidays list, which I always consult.  The problem is that Phuket say tomorrow is dry day but my other half, my tuk tuk driver and the local 7/11 say they know nothing about a dry day today or tomorrow!
