Flying boat is shown after town landing

As a follow up to the letters about the flying boat in Scarborough Harbour in the 1930s, my good friend and publisher David Fowler has found a photo of the Supermarine Scapa in our harbour. It’s of rather poor quality but one can see clearly it is sitting on the mud during low tide, looking rather forlorn.
