The Portuguese naval museum is a wonderful place to admire the exploits of Portuguese sea farers. This very rare Fairey IIID was the aircraft that finished the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic in the hands of Artur de Sacadura Freire Cabral and fellow aviator Gago Coutinho. This particular aircraft has a Rolls Royce VIII engine. It completed the crossing between Fernando de Noronha and Rio de Janeiro. Later, it served on the mainland, and in Macau.

Reportedly the only known example of this type left in the world
