Sometimes,
history and time doesn't leave us flying boat
enthusiasts that much to walk-round, and this small
image series is a perfect case in point. These remains
are all that is left of a 1923 Supermarine Seagull III.
On display at the Solent Sky Museum in Southampton,
England, this is the nose section and the cockpit area
which was 'rescued' in 1974 having been used as a garden
shed for over forty years!
Now
preserved and saved for all-time it has been very
carefully treated and a thoughtful presentation allows
the enthusiast a good idea of the interior and exterior
woodwork; just look at all those longerons and uprights. |
