The Seaplane[]
The Seaplane is a floatplane hailing from England. It was used by a famous film star to travel around. Neville once saw it crashing into the sea and unaware it was a seaplane, panicked. When the mist lifted, he could see it was being kept afloat. He was then honoured with the task of towing the red and yellow seaplane to a nearby jetty.
