A Walrus at an airshow on the Candian west coast. K8343 / 769 and K8341 / 780 were on board the British cruiser Exeter which visited Victoria, BC in the summer of 1937. K8343 was probably no longer assigned to the ship at the time of the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939, in which Exeter's aircraft were damaged by shells from Admiral Graf Spee and dumped overboard.
