I found an interesting one at some site relating the old Hong Kong.

Quote:

“In the 1920s, Charles de Ricou, aerial pioneer, made transportation history in Hong Kong by offering the first flying boat service between Macau and Repulse Bay.”

The posted image is a copywriter's fantasy.

de Ricou did not propose a service between Repulse Bay and Macau.

The aircraft in the image is not one of de Ricous as far as can be ascertained. His had a 'Portuguese Cross' emblem on the tail. The pilot image appears to be a 'stock' image.

More on de Ricou and his only Repulse Bay 'Air Day' can be found here.
