Indeed Ben.......more distractions
Searching on the net is like looking for something in the attic where you stop on about the second box and start reading the 25 year old newspapers used as wrapping
The home page throws up lots of ships and harbour scenes from around the World.

Good find there Gary, was good to see pics of the BH7 and SRN6 Hovercraft, my last 2 yrs in the RN I was stationed at Lee on Solent
on the Hovercraft Trials Unit, we operated both of them then along with the VT2, good memories. Funny now to think we trained
pilots from Iran etc.

HI Seaking 
Times change like the support we used to give Argentina before the Falklands
There's a Saro Flying Boat in there that seem unfamiliar..
Quite a few rare subject...to me anyhow
One of those sites that shows something else every time you look

Great stuff Garry
I had seen the Auster shots before (for obvious reasons) including the "waterski" J5B -- There is a sad "after" shot of the prototype mk6
after throwing a float at Calshot I believe. There are a couple of miss indentifications - especially with the PBY5s which are indentified as 5A's
One of them is very rare as it has the asymemteric depthcharge racks (Usually the PBY had two aside - that one has three and one due to the
Leigh light on the Starboard side -- The Saro A37 I saw a photo of while researching its powerplants -- (They're Pobjoy Niagara's) I was surprised
to see an interior shot of the Saro Cloud as well.
Thank you for the link
