As part of the Royal Navy's plan to mount aircraft on British warships, Flt Cmdr Frederick Joseph Rutland takes off in a Sopwith Pup from 'A' Turret aboard cruiser HMS Yarmouth.

Rutland with Lt Gerald Livock.

Nicknamed "Rutland of Jutland" for his bravery in that battle, Rutland will end his life in ignominy, accused of collaborating with the Japanese in World War Two. He committed suicide in 1949.
