Only one Supermarine Baby fighter flew. The second, N60, became spares for the first and work on the third was abandoned. Location almost certainly Port Victoria where the RAF, and the RNAS before it, had a marine aircraft testing station. The Baby was the basis of the Supermarine Sea Lion I entered in the 1919 Schneider Trophy race. Photo from: Library and Archives Canada
