• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Supermarine Sea Otter ASR II - With update

Developed from the Walrus - entered service in 1944 ( the last bi-plane to entr service ) remained with FAA until early '50s when replaced by helicopters.

On 19th July 1950 a Sea Otter ( piloted by Lt. P. Cane ) from HMS Triumph rescued a downed US F4U pilot in rough seas during the early part of the Korean War.

This model carries a genuine Sea Otter serial but I've no idea if it is the correct one. I also don't know if it should wear the 'stripes ' but it seems appropriate.

Two a/c seved with the Australian FAA on HMAS Sydney and HMAS Vengeance ( nos JN200 and 201 )

Sea Otters also served with the French, Dutch and Danish Forces, one of the Australian a/c was under civil registry after disposal by FAAA.

My thanks as usual to Mike Stone whose Walrus files are at the root of this a/c and also to Dave Eckert ( daviator ) whose tutorial on recessed wheel wells was invaluable.

All errors are mine and this is FREEWARE
