Supermarine Southampton flying boat off Grand Hotel, Torquay, circa 1930
![[Flying boat off shore at Torre Abbey Sands]](/thumbs/t7x74x838.jpg)
The Supermarine Southampton was in service from 1925 until 1936, so this photo probably dates from around 1930. The local papers (held at Torquay Library) refer to a visit to Torquay and Paignton by Southamptons on 5 September 1927, but it is not certain that this was when the photograph was taken.
