SUPERMARINE SEAGULL WALRUS AND SEA OTTER WHAT HAPPENED

Supermarine under R.J.Mitchell developed these amphibious aircraft back in 1920 with the Supermarine Seagull which was powered by a single Napier Lion engine. In 1925, the UK Admiralty advised the Royal Australian Air Force to acquire Seagulls to serve on the new seaplane carrier then being constructed. From February 1929 to April 1933, six Supermarine Seagulls served on board HMAS Albatross. A pair of Seagulls were entered with the Air Ministry's authorisation for the 1924 King's Cup Race The Supermarine Seagulls were withdrawn from active service or scrapped in 1936 they were superseded by the Supermarine Seagull V. The Supermarine Seagull V was later renamed the Supermarine Walrus due to significant design changes that made it a distinctly new aircraft. The Supermarine Walrus was a robust, all metal amphibious biplane that served as a fleet spotter, reconnaissance aircraft, air sea rescue craft, and served various allied air forces from 1935 until the late 1950s. The Supermarine Sea Otter was intended to replace the Supermarine Warlus in the Royal Air Force reconnaissance and search and rescue missions. The Supermarine Sea Otter became the final R J Mitchell design to enter service. The first flight took place on 23rd September 1938, but it was not until January 1942 that the Air Ministry placed a production order. Due to cooling troubles found with the Perseus, the power-plant was changed for production aircraft to the Bristol Mercury XXX engine driving a three-bladed propeller. The Supermarine Sea Otter entered squadron service in November 1944, towards the end of World War Two. The main difference between the Walrus and the Sea Otter was in the mounting of the powerplant; the Walrus had a rear-facing engine with a pusher propeller and the Sea Otter’s engine faced forward with a tractor propeller. Postwar Sea Otters were converted for civilian use. The cabin was soundproofed and fitted with heating. Seating for four passengers, a chemical toilet and a stowage for baggage were provided. As they were intended for use as Bush airplanes. If you would like to support my channel buymeacoffee.com/gullperch    / @gullperchflyer
