G-EALP  Supermarine Sea Lion I                             (c/n  --)

                                 

                                    This came from an ancient scrapbook my mother had and was a newspaper print.  In view of that,
                                    I suppose, this reproduction is not too bad.  Anyway, G-EALP was built specifically for the 1919
                                    Schneider Trophy Race seaplane air race.  Unfortunately it hit an underwater obstruction whilst
                                    taking off (on 10 September 1919) and was written off .   Its successor, the Sea Lion II won the
                                    race in 1922.
