Description:

RAF 200 class Seaplane Tender (1:1 Scale)

Seaplanes can fly and float, but they can’t use a conventional dock because of their wings. While the seaplane was at anchor or moored to a pontoon, a tender would transfer crews, provisions and munitions to land. The 200 class seaplane tenders, first built in 1931, were twin engined, hard-chined, vee-bottomed boats which were designed to combine safety at sea in any flying weather with immediate speed in an emergency and economy of maintenance.

Built as fast small boat to support seaplanes and also it can be used for SAR, passenger transport and firefighting missions. It can be controlled with Remote controller which can be useful for towing seaplanes or maybe gliders.
