A seaplane at Scapa

A Tom Kent picture. This seaplane will not have belonged to the seaplane station, which actually closed about ten years earlier.

In fact the Southampton flying boat pictured was taken onto the beach to effect repairs to a leak in the hull caused by a collision with a salmon net during take off
