The flying boat is, we are fairly certain, built by Norman-Thompson but it does not seem to be the common NT.2B version as the tail is wrong. The bridge in the background is, presumably, Littlehampton's swing bridge and the Norman-Thompson works were just along the coast at Bognor Regis. The union flag on the rudder suggests an early version of this little flying boat. The main production of two-seat training boats were NT.2Bs used at Lee-on-Solent and Calshot and they were also built by Saunders at Cowes, Isle of Wight, and Supermarine at Woolston.
The flying boat at Littlehampton is not a Norman Thompson but a White & Thompson No.3, probably serial 1195, the first of eight known to have been built and given the serials 1195-1200, 3807 and 3808. There is a close resemblance to the Norman Thompson boats but we did say the tail looked wrong. The White & Thompson company at Middleton-on-Sea, Bognor, changed its name to Norman Thompson later in the war.
