Walrus K8341 / 780 was carried by the cruiser HMS Exeter in the Pacific, together with K8343 / 769. Both aircraft visited the airshow at Vancouver in 1937 and this photo was most probably taken there. The badge on the tailfin, a lion on waves, is Exeter's. K8341 may have become a victim of the German pocket battleship Graf Spee when her gunfire struck Exeter off the Rio de la Plata on 13 December 1939. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

Aircraft of HMS Leander on Christmas Island, which lies south of Java and was then administered from Singapore. Reportedly there was an airstrip near the South Point phosphate quarry but seaplanes would beach at Flying Fish Cove. Part of the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy, Leander and her aircraft were surveying a flying boat route for Imperial Airways. L2222 became NZ151. Photo from: Torpedo Bay Navy Museum

A Walrus is being hoisted aboard in Gibraltar. Its ship may be HMS Cornwall, although the cruiser is reported to have been in St Tropez on the given date! If it is indeed Cornwall's aircraft, the fuselage band should be pale blue. The ship with four funnels in the background is a US Navy destroyer, which seems quite odd here in 1938. However, USS Manley (DD-74) was indeed around to protect American interests during the Spanish Civil War.

Can you imagine a lumbering Walrus departing the catapult of HMS Exeter at an alarmingly low speed? The envisaged role of gunnery spotting hardly happened in wartime but the type, while often disliked by its pilots, was probably useful for flying in groceries to its mother ships. Photo likely taken in Vancouver, BC where K8343 and the other Walrus, K8341, visited an airshow. Photo from: Naval History and Heritage Command

A Walrus at an airshow on the Candian west coast. K8343 / 769 and K8341 / 780 were on board the British cruiser Exeter which visited Victoria, BC in the summer of 1937. K8343 was probably no longer assigned to the ship at the time of the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939, in which Exeter's aircraft were damaged by shells from Admiral Graf Spee and dumped overboard.

Developed to be ship-borne catapult launched this type was known as the Walrus in RAF and the Seagull V in RAAF service and went on to save the lives of many ditched airmen. This particular aircraft arrived Down Under in 1936 and served for many years before being transferred to the civilian register in 1951 as VH-ALB, before being repatriated to the UK in 1971 for restoration and eventual display.

It was a surprise on my first visit to Camden to see a Walrus. Did not know such a rare aircraft existed in Australia. It was explained this was not a Walrus but its predecessor, the almost identical pre-World War II Seagull V. In 1969 VH-ALB was restored with an intention of flying it in the London-Sydney air race in December that year. It did not make the start line. Then on January 27, 1970, it crashed at Taree, New South Wales. The battered aircraft was sold to the RAF Museum, where it has been restored as a static display.

Also used as a rescue aircraft, the Walrus was designed as a shipboard reconnaissance machine, and could even be catapulted.
