Britain’s last biplane flying boat to serve with the RAF. ✈️🌊 Entering service in 1937, the Supermarine Stranraer was used for maritime patrol, coastal reconnaissance, and crew training during the early years of World War II. Though obsolete by modern standards, it played a steady defensive role guarding Britain’s coastal waters before more advanced flying boats took over. A transitional aircraft that bridged the gap between classic biplanes and modern maritime aviation. | WW2 Sky Stories
