Re: Supermarine Walrus W2718

I may be wrong but I seem to recall that this Walrus was sold to the Irish Air Force as N-18 during WW2 and that it was stolen by 4 Irish Nazi Sympathisers was "captured" by a Spitfire over Cornwall and later returned to the IAF only to be damaged somehow. Another Walrus also damaged at some other time . The two wrecks were put together as a "new" W2718.

Also Were the 4 ever named and did we imprison them here or return them to Ireland ?
