The first of six Rangoons. They served mostly outside the UK. The service life was brief - 1931 to 1935. S1433 was stripped of military equipment and registered G-AEIM in 1936. It was flown by Air Training at Hamble training Imperial Airways crews. G-AEIM was scrapped in 1938. Photo from: air Force Museum of New Zealand

The small Peto was designed to operate from submarines. The aircraft was housed in a waterproof hangar and catapulted over the bow. After the aircraft alighted next to the sub, a crane would lift it back on deck. Tested on the sub HMS M2 until N181 was damaged at Gibraltar. It was rebuilt with several improvements and given the new serial N255. Lost with HMS M2 and all its 60 crew on January 26, 1932. The sub and plane were left on the bed of Lyme Bay after a failed salvage attempt. A second Peto, N182, crashed in 1930. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

This was the second Seaford. After a brief loan to BOAC it returned to the RAF as a transport. However NJ201 was rejected by the Transport Command. About 1949 Short installed a streamlined nose and Solent style wing floats. It was eventually sold to Aquila Airways in 1953 as a Solent III (G-ANAJ) although it was only a partial conversion compared with Seafords converted for BOAC.

Originally built for an Australian customer, L9786 was passed to the Air Ministry after the order was cancelled. Short fitted it with a central float that was a scale replica of that used on the Sunderland. L9786 was delivered to Felixstowe where it continued to be used for test flying for many years. It crashed into the River Clyde on March 14, 1944 while deployed to RAF Helensburgh in Scotland. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

Built to test Saunders' metal hull design by replacing the wooden one on a Supermarine Southampton II. The new hull showed signs of structural weakness after 50 hours. Despite strengthening, the hull continued to deteriorate and the test program ended at 75 hours. Saunders persisted with the design and the same construction technique was used on the Cutty Sark, Cloud, Windhover and London. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

N184 was the second of two Rohrbach Ro IV flying boats built for the Air Ministry. The first, N183, was built by Rohrbach at Copenhagen. It was destroyed during strength testing after displaying poor handling and performance during testing. N184 was assembled in the UK by Beardmore using German-made parts. Its performance remained poor and the project was cancelled. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

To get extra life out of the inadequate Roc fighter, floats were fitted with the aim of producing a target tug to replace Blackburn Shark floatplanes used in the role by the FAA. L3059 was the prototype. It showed instability and was wrecked in an accident at the Helensburgh Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment in December 1939. A second conversion with an enlarged ventral fin was completed but its performance was poor. The FAA ended up replacing its Shark target tugs with landplanes. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

To get extra life out of the inadequate Roc fighter, floats were fitted with the aim of producing a target tug to replace Blackburn Shark floatplanes used in the role by the FAA. L3059 was the prototype. It showed instability and was wrecked in an accident at the Helensburgh Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment in December 1939. A second conversion with an enlarged ventral fin was completed but its performance was poor. The FAA ended up replacing its Shark target tugs with landplanes. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

Originally conceived as a three-engined Supermarine Southampton under the designation Southampton X. Other than the name, the aircraft built had no connection to the Southampton and was renamed Scapa. Only 15 were built before production switched to the Supermarine Stranraer.

The Flycatcher was one of the earliest aircraft designed specifically for carrier operation. It also could be fitted with floats or amphibious floats for operation from catapults. The floats in the photo are not amphibious. This early production aircraft has an Armstrong-Siddeley Jaguar engine. Flycatchers were also delivered with Bristol Jupiters.

Early production MkII attached to the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment. It was delivered to 228 Squadron in April 1937 then passed to 240 Squadron when 228 converted to Sunderlands. K5258 became an early loss in World War II when it was shot down on December 19, 1939 while operating out of the Shetlands. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The sole Parnall Prawn, a small flying boat. The engine nacelle could be tilted 22 degrees to keep its very small propeller clear of the water. Perhaps it never flew. The photo must have been taken in the second half of 1930 or perhaps a little later. In the background is a three-engine monoplane flying boat which must be the one and only Blackburn Sydney, serial N241, which first flew at Brough on 18 July 1930. Photo from: Imperial War Museums
