Summary
DescriptionSupermarine Walrus I ‘X9556 S’ (G-WLRS W2718) (51750574787).jpg |
c/n 2S/5591 Built in 1940 by Saunders Roe and delivered to the Royal Navy with the British military serial W2718. She served with 764 and 751 Naval Air Squadrons before transferring to the Royal Air Force and flying with 276 squadron. She was sold off in April 1946 and bought by Somerton Airways at Cowes on the Isle of Wight, but she did not fly again and was broken up sometime around 1947. During the 1950’s the forward fuselage was converted into a touring caravan and survived as such until purchased by David Green (the founder of the Spitfire Society) during 1986. With nowhere to house it, the caravan was kept at the Southampton Hall of Aviation until it was sold to engineer Dick Melton during 1989. He put the project on the British civil register as G-RNLI and had restored the complete fuselage before work stopped in 2002. In 2006 it was sold to Solent Sky (the new name for the Southampton museum) and was kept there until sold to Walrus Aviation in June 2009. The project then moved to Audley End and restoration began again, although at a slower pace. She was sold to a private owner in March 2018 and was immediately moved to Duxford and reregistered as G-WLRS. Restoration is now being carried out by the Aircraft Restoration Company and she is seen while briefly parked in Hangar 2 (North) at Duxford Airfield, Cambridgeshire, UK 19th September 2021 |
