Good one. LOL Grin

The Walrus was originally named the Seagull V.
I've seen them in museums but never in their element. This would be quite a sight. Wish I'd been there. Shocked

I wasn't sure if that was the case. I had a feeling that Seagull was the name given to Australian built versions.
That guy must have been out of his mind looping a Walrus Shocked

Still, I bet it was some sight to see. This is another type I'd love to see restored to flight one day.

Cheers HawkerTempest. I always wondered what aircraft they used for this job. I could never really find that much info. Thanks. Sam Grin

Fantastic plane that. Wouldn't mind one myself really. Considering its brother won the Schneider Cup for England. Grin

He didn't mention that it was the aircraft carried as spotter and recon planes on Battleships and Heavy Cruisers too.

The smaller Cruisers had to make do with the Fairey Seafox. Which was smaller, but just as capable.
