You don't often see military aircraft referred to complete with their relevant mark number. However as the Australians had both Seagull Mk. IIIs as well as later Mk. Vs, they were probably trained to always mention the mark number in case of confusion. However, so far as I know, the two types were never in service at the same time. David D

RAN Supermarine seagull. (PS and Walrus) Be great if someone could shed some light on these machines, Seagulls, yes, RAN yes, model and/or mark, no idea? Pretty sure the aircraft carrier one is RAN. The deteriorating one pretty sure these pic’s where taken near Rathmines the old RAAF seaplane base, I believe she is now restored in a UK museum? (Images, Chase n Thyme collection) Just realised my pic of the Point Cook Walrus is from a similar angle to the Seagull nice to make the comparison between the two.

The aircraft with the tractor propeller is a Sea Otter rather than a Seagull isnt it?
