To get extra life out of the inadequate Roc fighter, floats were fitted with the aim of producing a target tug to replace Blackburn Shark floatplanes used in the role by the FAA. L3059 was the prototype. It showed instability and was wrecked in an accident at the Helensburgh Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment in December 1939. A second conversion with an enlarged ventral fin was completed but its performance was poor. The FAA ended up replacing its Shark target tugs with landplanes. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

A very interesting photo as this British Navy Dragonfly carries an RCAF squadron code PX. That is the code for the CEPE - Central Experimental and Proving Establishment. The polar bear badge is for the Climatic Detachment of the CEPE. This Dragonfly arrived at Namao, the base of the Climatic Detachment on 22-Sep-1953. It arrived back in the UK 14-May-1954. DND photo.

The Seafang was a navalised Spiteful. The initial production model was the F.31 but only nine of the 150 ordered were built. In addition two of the F.32 version, with contra-rotating props, were built. The Fleet Air Arm preferred the Sea Fury as its fleet fighter because of its better low-speed handling.
