Irish Air Corps Supermarine Walrus N20 on coastal patrol in July 1940, photographed from an Anson. Walruses L2301, L2302 and L2303 were part of an order for 168 aircraft earmarked for the Royal Navy but diverted to the Irish Air Corps.
The Irish Air Corps acquired three Walrus Is and used their ‘B Condition’ flight test identities as their serial numbers. N20, delivered in March 1939, was written off in September 1942.
