Seaplane at Invergordon harbour 1945 ?

Newblackforest: As we are almost neighbours, come over sometime! Cod wars? Maybe not, but if the fisheries had been adequately protected in 1924 maybe we would have more fish in the sea today!

All you need to know from Switzerland! (Like to see his library!), but fishery protection? Was there a cod war in the ’20’s? :confused:

Thanks guys .

Apparently fishery patrols in 1924

Think it is a Felixstowe F2A.

Can’t find anything about them being based at Invergordon. Not in a quick look, anyway.

Cheers for that info.Did they use Invergordon as a base for anti sub ops during the first world war.

Ah, sorry, misinterpreted your earlier remark. I think it might be a Felixstowe of some kind (mostly as that’s the only period flying boat I can bring to mind), so even Martin’s 1925 might be a bit late.

Yes i was aware of that .I just thought it might be of some interest to some folks out there and find out the aircraft type and when they flew from Invergorden.

Postmarks are no guide to age – the card might have been send years after the photo was taken. I have one in my collection where the women are wearing classic 1890s fashions, but it was sent in 1928, and another with a photograph on it taken nearly over a decade before you were allowed to post cards with pictures on!

Found in with old photos ,stamp and postmark 1945 sent while on leave.

Looks like Invergordon indeed, but 1925 might be nearer the date?
