Seaplane bases in the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seaplane bases of the UK is a list of the historic seaplane bases, many of which were either used for, or planned to be used for, the defence of the UK.
A seaplane base may be anything from a stretch of water where seaplanes were based to a full installation, either floating (powered or unpowered) or shore based, where seaplanes were serviced. In the UK these are presumed to be coastal.
