'Seaplane?'

[gampo67]

Hello folks,
please excuse any ignorance in this question but I am a new member to the aircraft enthusiast ranks and am still learning what's what. Can anybody help me? Whilst sat in my lounge (in Bebington, Wirral) on Saturday afternoon (31st) I heard a light aircraft buzzing around, went out to investigate, and saw what appeared to be a pair of pontoons underneath an aircraft heading roughly inland parallel to the Mersey. Does anybody know what it was and where it might have been heading, or did my eyes deceive me???
Thanks to the member (I think he was the forum moderator) who advised me on various photographic locations whilst at Liverpool airport on 17th march. I've just had an enjoyable few hours this afternoon at the mound on the Styal side of Manchester Airport. Cheers.

Pleased that you found the forum and welcome. Trust you have had a good nose around the diverse and many sections and are not too put off by the quality of some of the photographs! Do feel free to ask about locations used.- Providing you found the right place the photography from the location overlooking 23L is a stunning location.

Probably bump into you again sometime at the 27 threshold mound.
