The Curtiss SO3C-1 Seamew was a two-seat

reconnaissance aircraft developed by the US Navy and
were sold to Great Britain under Lend-Lease. It was
originally called the Seagull in the States but following the
naming of the "Seamew" by the FAA it was later also
adopted by the USN. The original SO3C-2 Lend-Lease
version delivered to the FAA had additional bomb rack
under fuselage and arrester gear as well as other
refinements over USN versions. The next version was the
Seamew 1, the FAA equivalent of SO3-2C. 250 lend-lease
aircraft were ordered for the FAA. While the Seamew was
intended for catapult launch on the Royal Navy's ships, it
never saw operational service. Many of the first aircraft
were initially transferred from Roosevelt Field in March
1943 to TOC 1 NAGS Yarmouth and on to the RN January
1944 for shipping amongst others to Worthy Down. Since
the type was not a great success it was declared obsolete
and scrapped from September 1944 onwards. The aircraft
was relegated to second line squadron usage and the
majority of the aircraft were used to train TAG's in Canada.
The last aircraft in the RN served until 1945. In addition to
the Curtiss SO3C-1 Seamew there was the Queen Seamew,
which was the FAA equivalent of SO3-1K; 30 were
ordered under lend-lease. Ordered under Requisition No.
BAC/N-1-857. Cancelled. Intended delivery of 30 target
drone conversions never materialised.Remaining at
Roosevelt Field, before converstion to RN Queen
