Australia, 1926-1935. Several Supermarine Seagull III seaplanes of No. 101 Fleet Co-operation Flight RAAF lined up on the top deck of the seaplane carrier HMAS Albatross. The amphibious aircraft, recently returned from flying missions, have just been hoisted out of the water and aboard the ship by means of the ship's cranes. Sailors are removing the floats from aircraft no. A9-8 in the foreground, while RAAF ground staff prepare to fold its wings back so that it can be stored in the ship's hold. Directly behind is aircraft no. A9-2. A crewman from the seaplane at rear can be seen standing on the aircraft's top wing. This crew member had attached the cable of the crane to the aircraft while it was still in the water, and then rode on the top wing while the seaplane was hoisted aboard the vessel.
