10/19/2003. Remarks by Charles Mac Kay: "I believe that this photograph was taken at the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment, Helensburgh, Scotland in 1940. It shows the Roc fighter on floats outside the hanger. The Roc is on Blackburn Shark floats. The machine was an effort to provide the British navy with air cover when carriers were not available, shown in poor tactical handling of air cover in Norway, performance was lousy and depended very much on the weight of the pilot." |
