Aviation Art print portraying the Supermarine Walrus by Darryl Legg
The Sea Shall Not Have Them - The Supermarine Walrus
Designed by R.J. Mitchell, the Supermarine Walrus was a rugged amphibian that served with distinction throughout the Second World War. Used primarily for air-sea rescue, reconnaissance, and gunnery spotting, the Walrus could be launched by catapult from large warships and operate from land bases or the decks of aircraft carriers. Its distinctive biplane design and pusher engine configuration gave it a unique appearance, while its reliability and versatility earned the respect of its crews, earning the nickname "Shagbat". Tasked with bringing downed airmen home from perilous waters, the Walrus played a quiet but vital role in saving countless lives, embodying the unsung heroism of maritime aviation.
In Darryl Legg's print we see an aircraft from 751 Squadron banking to port while returning to its base in Dundee, Scotland.
