hen[26] - Supermarine Stranraer

hen[26] - Supermarine Stranraer
Another flying boat designed by Supermarine for the RAF during the 1930s for maritime reconnaissance. The last & fastest biplane design, some 57 [?=40 in Canada] were built between 1937 and 1939, retired by the RAF / RCAF in 1943, lasted in civilian service in Canada until 1958.
This [920 / QN] is the sole survivor of those built by Canadian Vickers, although parts from the wreckage of another aircraft are owned by a museum in Halifax, Canada.

Note how high the engines are in the wings - to keep them out of any spray thrown up by the hull when landing or taking off.
