Fairey Seal K3481: A Classic Transport Aircraft of the Royal Air Force This photograph showcases the Fairey Seal, military registration number K3481, in its element during a flight training mission. The Fairey Seal, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was originally designed and manufactured by the British aircraft company Fairey Aviation Company Ltd. between 1938 and 1945. The Seal was primarily used as a military transport aircraft, capable of carrying up to 18 passengers or 3,200 pounds (1,451 kg) of cargo. Its distinctive design, featuring a large, open cockpit and a single, large fuselage, made it an instantly recognizable aircraft during its time. The photograph captures the Seal in mid-air, with its wings spread wide and propellers turning at full force. The aircraft's registration number, K3481, is clearly visible on the fuselage, providing a unique identifier for this specific aircraft. The image also reveals the Seal's undercarriage, fully extended and ready for a smooth landing. The Fairey Seal played a crucial role in the Royal Air Force's transport operations during World War II, serving both in the European and Middle Eastern theaters. Its versatility and reliability made it an essential asset for the military, and it continued to serve in various roles until the late 1950s. This photograph is a testament to the Fairey Seal's enduring legacy as a significant aircraft in military aviation history. Its timeless design and impressive capabilities continue to captivate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike, making it an iconic piece of aviation history.
