TL6 Scout Seaplane (Supermarine Walrus) Ver 2.3
    Copyright 1996 by Tracy Ratcliff (tratclif@bright.net)

        The Supermarine Walrus entered service with the British Navy in the
   early 1930s. Intended as a scout and as an artillery spotter for the Fleet's
   capital ships, the Walrus also served superbly in air-sea rescue and anti-
   submarine warfare. Following the war, a few were converted to passenger
   planes flying routes in the Pacific islands of the Commonwealth.
        The Walrus was an all-metal amphibian seaplane. The boxy fuselage
   supported biplane wings, the lower wing attached to the top of the fuselage.
   Between the wings on the centerline was an engine pod holding a Bristol
   Pegasus air-cooled engine turning a pusher prop. The prop arrangement
   allowed the engineer to work on the engine in flight.
        From front to back, the Walrus had a Scarff mount for a machine gun,
   pilot seat, an open area with navigator/bomber and radio-operator stations,
   and just behind the wing a second machine gun mount.
        The Walrus normally had only one pilot station, but it could quickly be
   equipped with a second seat and control yoke. The plane normally had one
   Vickers or Lewis .303 machine gun (7d+1|20|12|1000|4700|16|100) in each
   position, but could support two in the aft. The guns could be stowed inside
   the plane. The bomb load for anti-submarine work was one of the following: 2
   250 lb plus 8 20 lb; 2 250 lb plus 4 40 lb; 6 100 lb anti-submarine bombs;
   or 2 380 lb depth charges.
        Vehicles 1st edition states that biplanes cannot have wing tanks or
   folding wings. The Walrus in reality had both.
        Presented here is a Walrus with maximum bomb load and machine guns, and
   a copilot seat. For an air/sea rescue mission, see the "stretcher pallet" on
   V89.
