This beauty of a photograph (together with the one before) shows the very early Short S.41 Tractor Biplane which was completed in March 1912 as a landplane. It was later converted as a seaplane, with two central floats and three streamlined air-bags (!). Commander Samson used the machine in the Naval Review in 1912. Source: C.H. Barnes. Shorts aircraft since 1900, page 80. Cheers Kees

LOC, there is a transcription error. This is Southsea, England, all one word.
