	Aeroclub 1/72 Supermarine Sea Otter II Review
		The Supermarine company may be best remembered for its graceful Spitfire, but the company designed a series of utilitarian flying boats and amphibians alongside the Schneider trophy racers that led to the Spitfire.
		The Sea Otters served into the 1950s, despite the fact that the basic design was essentially obsolete before it ever flew.
		Aeroclub's Sea Otter is a mixed-media kit with vacuum-formed fuselage (hull) halves and canopy; injection-moulded wings, horizontal stabiliser, rudder, nacelle, outrigger floats and interior; and white metal engine, propeller, landing gear, wheels, struts and small interior details.

	Clinton Goveas :: Wikipedia Reference
		The Supermarine Spitfire was an iconic British single-seat fighter used primarily by the RAF and many Allied countries through the Second World War and into the 1950s.
		Supermarine's Chief Designer, R.J. Mitchell, had won four Schneider Trophy seaplane races with his designs: (Sea Lion II in 1922, S 5 in 1927, S 6 in 1929 and S 6b in 1931), combining powerful Napier Lion and Rolls-Royce "R" engines with minute attention to streamlining.
		Supermarine developed a two-seat variant to be used for training and was known as the T Mk VIII, but no orders were received for this aircraft and only one example was ever constructed (identified as N32/G-AIDN by Supermarine).

	Seaplane Training
		The aircraft could only be operated in a smooth sea and the ship had to stop for launching or recovery, both of which would take around 20 minutes.
		The tender was often stationed ten miles or so in front of the main battle fleet with the cruiser screen so that it would not fall hopelessly behind when it launched its aircraft.

	The Sea Shall Not Have Them
		In another scene a Supermarine Sea Otter flying boat picks up the German pilot who downed the Hudson which returned the favour before it ditched in the sea.
		Due to rapidly deteriorating weather and rough seas the Sea Otter cannot take off and has to be itself rescued by an M.T.B. The ending although predictable, is nevertheless gripping, and the film will rank along,with the best of the war movies made in the 1950's.
		British viewers should spot a very young Joan Sims, she was 24 when this film was made in 1954, in a cameo roll as Hilda Tebbitt, the worried wife of one of the crewman aboard the M.T.B. at sea as bad weather and night rapidly closes in.

	The Designer of the Supermarine Spitfire - Reginald Mitchell
		In 1917, at the age of 21, a partnership that was to have a significant effect upon his future was formed when he joined the Supermarine Aviation Works as a designer and by 1918, recognising the excellent skills that he had, Reginald Mitchell was appointed Chief Designer by Hubert Scott-Paine the Managing Director of Supermarine.
		As seaplane manufacturers, Supermarine were attracted by the Schneider Trophy contests although until 1922 when Mitchell took over complete control of the design for that years entry, the competition was dominated by Italy, who having won the Trophy in 1920 and 1921 meant that a further win in 1922 would secure them the Trophy outright.
		Mitchell set about totally redesigning Supermarine's Sea King II, an amphibian fighter aircraft and fitting it with a 450hp Lion it was renamed the Sea Lion II.

		As they disappeared from sight, a 728 NAS Supermarine Sea Otter air sea rescue amphibian ambled past in contrast, and gave a humorous diversion flying low and slow along the crowd line with the crew waving and saluting to the spectators while 816's Fireflies formatted over Gozo.
		The Sea Otter was followed by a Hal Far-based North American Harvard trainer which was put through its most daring manoeuvres by its pilot, who then put it down in a perfect three point landing.
		The highlights of this show was one of 800's Seafires which, after several rolls and dives, went into a particularly steep and fast dive with the engine cut out and disappeared beyond the skyline under the cliffs at the end of the runway.

		Its 18 cylinders are arranged in two rows giving it a diameter of 55.3 ins (1.405 mt) with a weight of 3400 lbs (1 540 kg), the Centaurus epitomised the peak of British radial piston engine development and was produced for both military and civil use.
		Famous military aircraft as the Hawker Tempest 11 and Sea Fury, Bristol Brigand and Blackburn Beverley all used Centaurus powerplants, while civil aircraft similarly powered included the Airspeed Ambassador (BEAs famous Elizabethian class).
		However, its versatility eventually enabled it to be mounted on types of aircraft, from twin-engined types as the Bristol Blenheim, to trainers as the Miles Martinet and Master 11, and utility aircraft as the Supermarine Sea Otter and Westland Lysander.
