Would seaplanes and flying boats remain with the Royal Navy?
Short answerThose operating from ships would remain naval; Coastal Command's land-based aircraft would stay with the RAF.
NotesSeaplanes operating from ships remain with the fleet under the proposed division. Flying boats and other aircraft belonging to Coastal Command continue with the RAF. The distinction follows the aircraft's connection to ship operations. The scenario does not expand the retained naval force simply to include more land-based types.
