| Last of the line of Schneider Trophy racing seaplanes
designed by R. J. Mitchell was the Supermarine S6B,
two of which were built for the 1931 event. Withdrawal
of opposing teams meant that the British merely had to
fly over the course to win the Trophy outright, which
they did averaging 340mph in S1595 illustrated. The
same day, S1596 captured the world's Absolute Speed
Record at 379mph.
| Barry, 09.05.2013 11:32 Joe this plane is in the Science Museum in South Kensigton. Stewart this plane was deigned by R.J.Mitchell without any help whatsoever from Geoffrey De Havilland, and as Mitchell went on to design the Spitfire one can most certainly see the family line. reply | | JOE REILLY, e-mail, 27.12.2012 21:45 I BELIEVE THIS AIRCRAFT IS IN THE NATIONAL MUSEUM IN LONDON. reply | | Stewart, e-mail, 03.09.2011 01:37 Have not seen - was De Haviland involved in design, Seems to be some Comet racer in this design as well as Spitfire. Hoow far off am I???? reply | | beifang, 18.06.2011 08:35 INTERESTING AIRPLANES EVER BUILT.

Was a similar radiator employed on others? reply | | JIM HAWKINS, e-mail, 18.01.2011 09:39 I THINK THE SUPERMARINE S6B IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING AIRPLANES EVER BUILT.
