A Short Type 166 torpedo bomber reconnaissance seaplane taxying at speed prior to take off.
A starboard near beam view of a Short Type 166 torpedo bomber reconnaissance seaplane with a full load of bombs under way at speed prior to taking off. A Thornycroft "M" class destroyer is moored in background, almost certainly HMS Patriot (1916) [identified in part due to her funnel configuration, the Pendant No being G, the lack of a flag yard on her main mast].
