		The Convair R3Y Tradewind was a giant turboprop-powered flying boat for the United States Navy which entered service in 1954.
		The final six were built as the R3Y-2 variant with a lifting nose and high cockpit (similar to modern-day eyes to the C-5 Galaxy's nose and cockpit) for heavier transport and landing-ship duties.
		The R3Y set a transcontinental seaplane record of 403 mph in 1954 by utilising the speed of high-altitude jetstream winds.

		After some "fits and starts", this new airplane, designated the Convair R3Y "Tradewind", took its first flight in 1950.
		Four Tradewinds were built as tankers, for air-to-air refueling.
		Whilst watching a television documentary, recorded from Speedvision, I noticed two odd white objects pacing a Tradewind tanker in the act of retracting its fuel hoses after filling up a flight of Navy F9F Cougar jets.

		As part of the "Mobile Base Concept", the Navy had Convair develop a Bowloading Tradewind which incorporated straight-in loading.
		The above concept was developed by the Navy in the late 1940s around a high speed seaplane transport (the R3Y), a jet fighter seaplane (the Convair F2Y SeaDart) and a jet bomber seaplane (the Martin P6M SeaMaster).
		It was planned that these three aircraft could fly anywhere in the world and have a floating base set up by suitable naval vessels anchored or buoyed in sheltered water.

	The Tradewinds, Then and Now
		As their music matured and moved away from skiffle a change of name was deemed necessary and they soon evolved into The Sandy Engleton Six, expediently using a couple of local street names.
		It didn't take long for everyone to realise that this dreadful name just wasn't rock 'n' roll enough and, without much argument, it rather quickly metamorphosed into something much more euphonious: The Tradewinds, a name taken, perhaps surprisingly, from the US aeroplane the Convair R3Y-1 Tradewind.
		The only guy he couldn't track down in time was vocalist Peter Gallen who was then living in America.

		I'm sure if the USN/USMC had about 30-40 of them, they would most likely be very pleased with the capabilities these aircraft offered.
