English:
A Pink Plaque attached to the wall of the officers mess at the former flying boat and seaplane base of RAF Calshot, Hampshire, UK. The plaque on the building now known as
Houston House
records that in 1931 Lady Houston funded a 1931 British entry in the
Schneider Trophy
that was won by the
Supermarine S6B
designed by
R.J.Mitchell
who later designed the
Spitfire
. The building served as an officer's mess and the station headquarters until 1961 when RAF Calshot was closed and ownership of the site passed to Hampshire County Council.
