This image of the aircraft is from an article about the Triumph's initial Korean War service: Tony O'Toole, "The Forgotten Cruise," Model Aircraft Monthly, September 2007: 70-75. The aircraft is in the four-tone temperate sea scheme with sky undersides. I am in the process of trying to obtain a better image of the aircraft from the Imperial War Museum.
Sometime after August 1950, the Sea Otters were replaced by Sikorsky Dragonflies.
