  5. The Blackburn B-5 Baffin biplane torpedo bomber was a development of the Ripon, the chief change being that a 545 hp (406 kW) Bristol Pegasus I.MS radial replaced the Ripon’s Napier Lion water-cooled inline engine.

  7. Nach wochenlanger Pflege wurden sechs unterkühlt an britischen Stränden angespülte Unechte #Karettschildkröten von der britischen Marine in der Nähe der #Azoren in die Freiheit entlassen. Die vom #Aussterben bedrohten Tiere waren geschwächt und dehydriert, nachdem sie vermutlich von der #AtlantikStrömung bis nach #Großbritannien getragen wurden. Dank der Unterstützung durch #Aquarien und die #RoyalNavy konnten sie nun in wärmere Gewässer zurückkehren.

  8. The Battle of Jutland Memorial contains all those that were killed in action or died of wounds at the battle (31 May to 1 June 1916). A total of 6109 names are included with 1071 photographs.
    It is hoped that this will prove to be a useful resource for those with an interest in genealogy generally or who are specifically researching their family trees.

  9. Fairey Firefly Mk I (TT.I) Seen here in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovliton, the Firefly was the last time the Royal Navy shoehorned a navigator into one of their carrier fighters! Theythought that the pilot needed a navigator to stop him getting lost at sea! Needless to say, this increased the size and weight of the aircraft, and reduced performance. Despite being powered by a Rolls-Griffon IIB engine of 1,735hp, the Firefly I could only manage 319 mph - this was 5 mph slower than a Merlin-powered Hawker Hurricane Mk I of 1940! This Firefly was sold to Svensk Flygtjänst AB of Sweden after conversion to a target tug, eventually being restored as an aircraft which took part on attacks on the Japanese Home Islands in 1945. #FaireyFirefly #FleetAirArm #RN #RoyalNavy #Pacific #Japan #HomeIslands #WW2 #history #photography #museum #aviation #avgeek #targettug #Sweden #yeovilton #FleetAirArmMuseum #navalaviation #fighter #aircraft #rollsroyce #rrgriffon

  10. Supermarine Walrus I, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton. The Walrus was designed to be an aircraft that could be catapulted from capital ships of the Royal Navy, but ended up being a most useful amphibian. As well as spotting naval gunfire, the Walrus provided excellent air/sea rescue service around the coast of Britain and in other areas. Some were supplied to the Republic of Ireland, and this preserved example is one of these. #amphibian #WW2 #royalnavy #aircraft #capitalship #navalhistory #navalaviation #naval #avgeek #FleetAirArm #FleetAirArmMuseum #yeovilton #supermarine #walrus #aviation #aviationgeek
