Close-ups of the cockpit were taken on a rig using a genuine Hurricane fuselage. Hydraulic jacks could alter the position of the cockpit relative to the camera and the whole set-up gave considerably more authenticity than the customary wooden mock-ups, most of which were totally unconvincing. Background was later put in by using a matte process instead of the more usual back-projection.

Sister ship to Glorious, Courageous was built as a large cruiser for operations in the Baltic and saw limited action in the North Sea during World War One. With the end of the war, little use could be found for its eccentric design and it was earmarked for conversion to an aircraft carrier on similar lines to Furious which was already in service in this role.

In common with other central-float trials, test results did not convert the Air Ministry from its standard twin-float specification. From late 1935 to early 1937, spasmodic test flying and taxying was carried out the the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment at Felixstowe until the float suffered damage during beaching and further tests were abandoned.
The airframe was removed to the RAF College at Cranwell to be used as an instructional airframe.

Despite the prevalence of single-float seaplanes in several major navies, the Fleet Air Arm preferred twin seaboots on its aircraft. But at intervals, various types were tested with single central floats supplemented by small wingtip floats.
Osprey III S1700 was selected for one of these test programmes and was fitted with an Armstrong-Whitworth initially, a Short-built float also being supplied at a later point in the trials.

Three Fairey III F's and three Fairey Flycatchers lined up on the top flying deck. Here again one can get a good idea of the size of this deck, and can see that the landing and taking-off space available is considerably larger than many of the landing fields used by some of our joyriding firms who operate without a constant wind speed over their fields such as can be provided here at will.
Flycatcher S1287, upon which the author's reproduction is based, on HMS Glorious in January 1930.

Not a Meteor F.4 despite the serial number, the photo is of a model of an elementary trainer design by Percival Aircraft. Cliff Minney supplied it and believes it was only a design exercise and that it was never seriously considered as an aircraft to be built and flown.
