	Supermarine Stranraer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Supermarine Stranraer marked the end of biplane flying-boat development for the Royal Air Force.
		The structure was mainly duralumin, with the hull covered with sheet metal and the wings with fabric.
		17 Stranraers were built in Britain and 40 in Canada, serving with the RCAF until 1945.

	Supermarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Supermarine also developed the Spiteful/Seafang the successor of the Spitfire/Seafire and the Walrus flying boat.
		The Supermarine main works was in Woolston, Southampton which led to the city being heavily bombed in 1940.
		The last of the Supermarine aircraft was the Supermarine Scimitar.

		Supermarine Stranraer number 937 served from August, 1941 to March, 1944 with 117 Bomber Reconnaissance Squadron, flying out of Sydney, Dartmouth, and Shelbourne, Nova Scotia and Jericho Beach, British Columbia.
		In total, 40 Stranraers served in the RCAF from 1938 to 1946, on both coasts, in the anti-submarine role.
		Stranraer 937 was one of four belonging to 117 (Fighter) Squadron.

	Supermarine Stranraer
		It was turned down but Supermarine proceeded with the type as a private venture first known as the Southampton V. After all a contract was placed in 1933 for a prototype powered by two 820hp Bristol Pegasus IIIM and the type became known as the Stranraer.
		The Stranraers hull and structure were of metal with the wings and empennage covered with fabric; in some places stainless steel was used.
		The Stranraer served well but lacked the later required longer range, so they were assigned to secondary roles from 1943, being supplanted by the Catalina and Canso; the final aircraft was withdrawn from the RCAF on January 20, 1946.

		The Stranraer was the final development of the Southampton flying boat to be put into production and was one of the world's last biplane flying boat.
		Two units were equipped with Stranraers during the early part of the Second World War.
		Curiously, the Stranraer was built in greater numbers and had a longer service life outside the United Kingdom than with the Royal Air Force.

	Matchbox 1/72 Supermarine Stranraer
		The Stranraer was a large aircraft for its day with a wingspan of 85 feet 2 inches, a length of 54 feet 10 inches and a height of 21 feet 9 inches.
		The Stranraers served faithfully on both coasts during the early part of the war.
		The Stranraers proved to be good seaworthy aircraft but their antiquate biplane design eventually led to their being relegated to training duties.

		When the Stranraer took off the roar from those mighty engines were louder then ever, echoing through the mountains on and on into the distance.
		First of all the Supermarine Stranraer was a two engine, two-wing seaplane that landed on its belly in water.
		Of the Stranraers converted to civilian use in British Columbia, only two survive – one, decorated with Royal Air Force colors (even though the plane only operated in Canada with the RCAF and is part of the Queen Charlotte Airline fleet) is on display at the RAF museum at Hendon, England.

	Supermarine Stranraer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Called the "whistling bird cage" because of her look and the sound of the wind through her many brace wires, the Supermarine Stranraer was the last of the biplane flying boats designed by R.J. Mitchell, the man who designed the Spitfire.
		The Stranraer was used in RCAF service on anti-sub patrol until replaced by Canso and Catalina aircraft mid-war.
		The last Stranraer left RCAF service in 1946 and one (No.920) survived in commercial service on Canada's west coast until 1958, later to go to the RAF museum in Hendon.

		The Stranraer was of mostly metal construction, and ruggedly built…with a lot of redundancies, which made it stable as get-out, but something of a tank in a pilot’s eyes.
		The biplane configuration made the Stranraer a wonderful spotting platform, although it did have 3 lewis machine guns as armament, and could carry a limited amount of bombs or depth charges…it was lauded mostly for it’s ability to loiter, very useful in anti-submarine warfare.
		The Stranraer went through several modifications during pre-war, wartime, and post-war service (some of them were still up and running long after WW2), but the basic hull configuration stayed near the same as the original 1934 version.

	Supermarine Walrus Review by Steven Eisenman (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		I placed the major parts of the CA Walrus on a 150% enlargement of the Walrus plans that came with the Mushroom Model Magazine monograph on the Walrus and Stranraer.
		Assuming that the drawings are accurate (and in this day in age that is a risky assumption with regard to any drawings), the only issue I perceive is that the rudder appears to be too narrow in chord.

	Supermarine Walrus & Stranraer Book Review by Steven Eisenman (Mushroom Model Magazine Special)
		As the case would be, the Stranraer was merely an interim aircraft until the Sunderlands came on line.
		If it were not for Canada, the Stranraer would be even more obscure.
		For example, they clearly point out that the preserved Stranraer has engines different from the original aircraft.

		The stranraer flying boat was flown from RCAF station Dartmouth by No.5 Bomber Reconnaissance squadron (code letters QN) from November 1938 to September 1941.
		5 Squadron Stranraers from RCAF Station Dartmouth escorted the ocean liner Queen Mary on its departure from Halifax harbour with the King and Queen on board.
		By late afternoon the Stranraer would take-off from Sable Island, rejoin the convoy or conduct independent anti-submarine operations, finally landing back at RCAF Station Dartmouth around midnight.

		Even if I wanted a book on the Stranraer or many of the subjects we discuss here,l I doubt that I'd ever find one in a local bookshop, and it is unlikely you'd find such books even in a good library these days, although I make frequent use of the university library.

	Odds'n' Ends page 6
		There were three biplane flying boats on the RAF Order of Battle, the twin engined Saunders-Roe "London", the twin engined Supermarine "Stranraer" and the single engined Supermarine "Walrus" or, as it was universally known in the RAF, the "Shagbat".
		The "London" was used by 202 and 240 Squadrons until early 1941 and the "Stranraer" by 240 Squadron until 1940 on anti-submarine patrols.
		The chosen successor to the "Walrus" was another biplane flying boat, the Supermarine "Sea Otter", which closely resembled its illustrious predecessor, except that the "Sea Otter" had a tractor engine in place of the "Walrus's" pusher engine.

	1/72 Matchbox Supermarine Stranraer by Gabriel Stern
		This Stranraer model is really beautiful -the 30's definitely have some special charm- and builds easily.
		I added some details to the cockpit, in the usual (un)educated guess path, that made for a mostly empty space.
		Faithful to the time honored tradition of paying attention to the collected references After I was finished, I discovered a plethora of inaccuracies, but I'm so happy with my Stranraer that I really don't care.
