 [CCI] FW: [AB-IX] Grain Griffin 7.7.03
As the Isle of Grain Air Stationdeclined as Port Victoria grew it became known as the Marine Experimental Aircraft Depot with a Construction Depot from the original Aeroplane Repair Depot.
I did some notes about ten years ago and recorded that the first British seaplane station was commissioned at the Isle of Grain in December 1912.
The experimental aircraft were for example the PV.1 (don't know off-hand whether this should be P.V. 1 or P.V. - 1 etc) which was to improve the Sopwith Baby through to the PV.9 and then the Grain Griffin.
