This Supermarine S6 seaplane was Britains entry in the annual Schneider Cup Races

This Supermarine S6 seaplane was Britains entry in the annual Schneider Cup Races 1928. Here, R J Mitchell, the aircrafts designer, supervising work by searchlight at Calshott during August 1928.
The S6, flown by F/O H R Waghorn, went on to win the race at an average speed of 328.6mph. Much that was gained from the design and operation of these racing aeroplanes went towards the success of Mitchells Supermarine Spitfire.
