Supermarine type designations

[Stargazer]

Thanks a lot Arjen and Schneiderman!

in 300 series,we are still missing; 302,315,320,352,360,373,374,382 and 390.

Not all missing as far as I'm concerned:

• 320: Seagull V
• 352: Spitfire VC
• 360: Spitfire VIII
• 373: Spitfire F.XIV
• 374: Spitfire XI
• 382: Seafang F.31
• 390: Spitfire PR.XIX (production version; the prototype was Type 389)

 

[hesham]

Thank you Stargazer.

 

[Schneiderman]

Type 320 says Walrus in Putnam but the one remaining drawing is catalogued as Stranraer, so there is a question on that one. I'll check the drawing next week to see what it is

 

[Schneiderman]

Supermarine did not use any form of Type number system prior to the take-over by Vickers. Blueprints were simply numbered sequentially, so cataloguing must have been a nightmare.

In early 1928 they introduced a new lettering system but this was abandoned once Vickers took over. A was an early design for the Southampton X, B the Air Yacht, C the S6 and D a six-engined flying boat to R.6/28 (Sarafand).

Vickers type numbering was introduced from late 1928 but was only applied to new projects, those already in progress stayed with the old systems. So most of the aircraft projects named by Stargazer as lacking Type numbers had been started before the takeover.

Type 178, the first in the batch of numbers allocated by Vickers, was used as a gathering place for many projects and designs after the takeover. There are around 12 aircraft projects under that designation, including the Southampton IV which is an early version of the Scapa, not a Southampton II with slats.

Thanks a lot for your input, Schneiderman. It is always so much better to have information coming from one who actually has access to the original company material!

Confirm: Type 320 is Walrus for Turkey

Stargazer, ebay is your friend, always plenty of copies of the Putnam Supermarine volume there and some at very reasonable prices. No doubt online booksellers have copies too, try Abebooks for example. Its one of the better Putnams, not too biased and only a few errors that I have spotted.

Thanks! I must admit I scarcely buy anything online except train or plane tickets... Part of it is not knowing what to expect... I guess I'm also from the old school and I love to browse the shelves of a library... But the main reason is I got into great financial trouble 10 years ago after buying too much stuff on eBay, so since the lady and I have one single bank account and everything shared equally, any kind of hobby-related online purchase has become a pretty sensitive subject at home and I'd rather keep the peace... :-[

Yes indeed, there is a strong adictive quality about ebay but I do not know what I would do without them when carrying out research. At a rough guess I would say that 80% of the material I have gathered together has come from ebay or similar sites; photographs, technical reports, period books and magazines, blueprints, the list is endless. Of the remaining 20% a significant part has come from online archives such as the National Archives at Kew, Smithsonian, Science Museum, RAF Museum. These days its almost a disappointment when you fail to locate stuff after a thorough Googling

Skyblazer, what do you have in your Vickers/Supermarine lists for Type 171

Vickers Putnam says that the Type 171 was the Jockey fighter re-engined with a Bristol Jupiter, but I have Supermarine blueprints that show that they were using this designation for the Southampton Mark X after the Vickers takeover. Unless anyone has copies of Jockey blueprints or Vickers documents to show that 171 was used for this aircraft I would accept it refers to the 'X', which was, of course, developed jointly by both companies.

It's weird. I have the Type 171 as a Jockey as well, and the Putnam book on Supermarine clearly gives Type 178 as the first Vickers system designation assigned to a Supermarine type. The Southampton X is meant to have been the Type 185 (version with three Jupiter XFBM engines – design February 1931) and the Type 188 (three Jupiter XIF engines – design February 1931). Although of course we hardly know every iteration of each type number, and though it wasn't uncommon at that time for Vickers to allocate a type number then change it in the course of development, I have no reason to disbelieve the Putnam book on Supermarine, which is a very good title in the series.

 

[Schneiderman]

Putnams are a great starting point but are always worth cross-checking if possible. I agree that the Putnam Supermarine volume is amongst the more reliable but information from actual Supermarine blueprints trump their tabulation if there are differences. I have looked at hundreds of original Supermarine blueprints while carrying out research for my book so can confirm for certain that Type 171 was used for the Southampton Mark X by Supermarine. The only question is whether Vickers did so too and to answer that we really need to see Jockey or Southampton Mark X drawings produced by Vickers.

There was a clear transition period through late 1928 and most of 1929 while Vickers embedded their processes into the Supermarine business. Three different project/drawing number systems ran in parallel for a while for designs underway at the time of the takeover. Type 178 was indeed the first number assigned specifically to Supermarine but it was used as a gathering place for a wide variety of layout designs through until 1931. Type 179, the 'Giant', was the first new project to use Vickers numbering and this had its basis in project D under Supermarine short-lived letter system.

Evidence

 

[Stargazer]

Neat! Thanks a lot Schneiderman for this most valuable piece of evidence.

As I said, authors and researchers never get to see quite the whole picture, and they merely attempt to reconstruct a timeline and design sequence with whatever documents they come across, but nobody can claim to have seen it all — if only because large parts of many companies' archives have often perished, been destroyed, been scattered around, etc. This document is a good example because it goes against everything we thought we knew about the early times of the Vickers-Supermarine merger! I guess also that even company historians themselves, as they tried to gather up information on past projects and make sense of earlier designations, were not exempt from making mistakes here and there...

 

[hesham]

From my dear Rolf and from Aeroplane magazine,the Company Profile,


here is the Supermarine designation.

 

[Stargazer]

Very nicely done and hopefully devoid of typos. Thanks.

 

[Schneiderman]

Devoid of typos, which is unusual for Icons , but incomplete. My book will fill the gaps

Can't wait! You seem to have landed on some highly valuable and previously unknown Gloster and Supermarine material these past few months, which is all very good news!

Can you give us bibliographical facts on your forthcoming book, please?

 

[hesham]

Hi,
