[As can be seen, there’s often confusion over whether the inter-war British naval air arm was properly RN or RAF. I defer to those better able to comment.

Thanks James – confusion indeed! This has been an interesting discussion guys, opening up some unknowns, and I think that we can now be satisfied that the Seagulls between 1923 and 1927 were RAF aircraft.

But – it has not solved my initial query on the identity of the 3 x RAF machines shipped to Oz. :confused:

Many thanks all, and a Merry Christmas.
