High speed floatplane built in 1929 for operation by the RAF High Speed Flight in the Schneider Trophy Races. It is preserved wearing the scheme applied for the 1931 event. The S.6's gave valuable experience which was applied in the design of the Spitfire. This photo is copyright © R.A.Scholefield, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
