Sea Lion II gave Supermarine its first Schneider victory

Compare national victory totals with Supermarine's own record to see how heavily Britain's Schneider success rested on one firm.

Notes

Sea Lion II won the 1922 Schneider Trophy and gave Supermarine the first of its four victories. The tally gives Britain five national wins, more than any other country represented. Four of those British successes came from Supermarine alone, equalling Italy's entire national total. A single firm's sustained commitment accounted for most of Britain's result in the competition.
