The TG is described as a gunnery trainer. Five different prototypes, designated TG-1 through TG-5, were built. In the TG-5 the fuel tanks were moved to the central float. The uncropped photo shows the plane with a Loening OL-2 of the 1925 MacMillan Arctic Expedition, A6982 / NA-3. The date is not certain, but Boston Herald photographer Leslie Jones presumably came to photograph the arrival of NA-3 at NAS Squantum on 11 June 1925. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

Six new Lysanders were ordered by Ireland in 1939, each costing £6250. They were all delivered on 15 July 1939 and assigned to No 1 Fighter Squadron in August. 61 was converted to target tug by Short in Belfast in September 1944. It was withdrawn from use in December 1946. Photo by: William Vandivert / Life

Still is its RAF camouflage and serial, no props and splattered with bird droppings, the intended NZ2358 may never have carried its RNZAF serial. Many of the ex RAF Mosquitos acquired by the RNZAF in 1947-48 went straight to storage. RS693/NZ2358 was sold in 1955 with only 68 airframe hours most of which would have been amassed during the ferry flight from the UK to New Zealand.

Chukwani was a base for RNAS seaplanes during World War I. It is close to the site of the present day Zanzibar airport. Tanganyika was a German colony going into World War I and the UK deployed ships and aircraft to Zanzibar to counter the threat. In 1964 newly independent Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form Tanzania. Photo from: Library and Archives Canada

Westair Transport operated from 1947 until 1960. Photo assumed taken at the new Sea-Tac airport, given the source. The company flew primarily between Seattle and Alaska, but N1248N ditched off Florida on 5 June 1950 on a flight from Puerto Rico after both engines failed. MTOW had been exceeded by 258 pounds and the aircraft carried no less than 65 people, 28 of whom perished. Photo from: Tacoma Public Library

Before the RNZAF there was the New Zealand Permanent Air Force. Like many nations in the British Empire after World War I it received an Imperial Gift of aircraft from the UK. F-2Bs were among the aircraft. They were gone by the time NZ serial system was implemented. Photo from: RNZAF/Air Force Museum of New Zealand

The first of two Consolidated-Vultee XP-81 prototypes, 44-91000 became the first American turboprop-powered aircraft to fly on 21 December 1945. The TG-100 turboprop was augmented by an I-40 turbojet in the tail, fed air by dorsal intakes. Performance was disappointing as neither engine delivered the expected power and the P-81, intended as an escort fighter, was cancelled. Photo from: University of Texas at Arlington
