| Brandon Cook, e-mail, 05.10.2015 18:14 I heard you can hunt whales with this aircraft. Is this claim true? If yes, explain the technique so I can hunt whales with my buddies in my Supermarine Walrus.

| George, e-mail, 22.01.2013 17:29 My father flew one of these as part of RAF Coastal Command when based in the middle east and Italy (where he was apparently reprimanded for landing one on the Grand Canal in Venice without permission). Great tales of flying in reverse relative to the ground when pointed into high headwinds. I wish I asked more questions.

| Bob Bateman, e-mail, 11.01.2013 20:00 Hi,
I have the wheels from a Walrus, both have the large hub-cap that is rivited to the rim, they were bought by a farmer friend between the wars to attach to his horse drawn cart. The wheels are on the axle that was used for the cart, does anyone have any idea how the wheels would be parted from the axle? The fittings in the hub look original as though they are still attached to the Walrus stub axle.

| Marty O'CALLAGHAN, e-mail, 10.09.2012 01:22 In a local hotel there is a single propeller mounted on its wall. It is purported to be from a Walrus aircraft. I am therefore after any sketches, dimensions of said aircraft. I would like to chase down any history that I can obtain about this prop to give to the landlord. The hotel is located in Pyrmont/Ultimo, Sydney. Any information is muchly appreciated.

| christine thompson, e-mail, 18.01.2012 20:59 I was talking recently to a guy who lives on a tugboat in the Adur river estuary at shoreham-by-sea. He asked if I knew anything about the Walrus flying-boat, and whether any were stationed in or near Shoreham - he had heard rumours. Can anyone help please? Both he and the local museum would love to know!

| John V C Fisher, e-mail, 29.05.2011 11:54 I remember in the war a Walrus crashed on a piece of spare ground at the north end of Preston New Road Southport Lancashire, I believe the pilot was O K. It wasn't badly smashed and was taken away in a "Qeen Mary" trailer

| Dan Cowan, e-mail, 14.09.2010 00:40 Walrus had flaps. I'm not sure if they were only used during the wing-folding process or not. I don't think they were used the way flaps are normally used. I'm trying to find out!

| John West, e-mail, 18.01.2007 07:49 I find this aircraft an appealing and handsome machine. The one at Yeoville turned me on to build a RC model which is just now being "kitted up" as my next build. The major problem is the location of the engine and its impact on engine (propelor) size but that will get worked out.

| David Erickson, e-mail, 06.12.2006 21:13 Did the walrus have flaps on the bottom wing were they split like the tomahawks?
