Reading Roy Fedden's 1957 book Britain's Air Survival I came across this. New to me !

From, Takeoff Into Greatness,

I can't ID this huge water-based freighter seaplane Project,the book was
from 1968 and wrote by Grover Leoning,it looks like Leoning design,but
many differences between them,included cockpit,tail unit and duty for
designing (Freighter) ?.

Obviously it was very close to a Lockheed concept ?.

It looks almost like a jet powered H-4. Maybe a further development of it?

Hi,

I check from Lockheed company,it was not related to it,maybe it was from Grover Leoning himself as I think ?!.
