Supermarine Walrus
Catapult-launched, biplane amphibian with pusher propeller, developed from the Seagull. The Walrus was rather rectangular in outline, and did not show that it was built by the same manufacturer as the Spitfire. It was the standard catapult- launched reconnaissance and SAR (Search And Rescue) aircraft for some time. 740 were built between 1936 and 1944.
