    Another bit of aircraft nerding from me. The one on top is a Shorts S20. Below is an S21. Both aircraft were passed on to BOAC in 1940. The S20 was broken up at Rochester in 1941. The S21 was destroyed in an air raid at Poole during WWII.

    This might be of interest ... photos of Hollywood star Douglas Fairbanks, Snr visiting Foynes in 1939. Apparently a young JFK was in the plane as well [http://www.flickr.com/photos/ngmcd/sets/72157623815287102/]

    The aircraft on the left,G-ADHK, is the Short S.21 "Maia", which was used to carry the smaller S.20 seaplane (named "Mercury") piggy-back style. The aircraft in the background is another Short flying boat (but not "Mercury").

    There is no "small seaplane" in this photo.
