1872 1960 Fraser Murray Pioneer Stamp
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished figure of Sir Murray Fraser Sueter, CB, MP (1872-1960), a renowned Royal Naval officer and pioneering figure in naval aviation history. Sueter's career spanned over four decades, during which he made significant contributions to the development of naval aviation and naval warfare. Born in 1872, Sueter joined the Royal Navy in 1886 and served in various capacities, including as a torpedo officer and a destroyer commander. However, it was his work in naval aviation that truly set him apart. In 1911, he became the first British naval officer to fly a seaplane, and in 1912, he established the Royal Naval Air Service's first flying school at Eastchurch. During World War I, Sueter played a crucial role in the development of naval aviation, leading the first naval air raids on Zeppelin sheds in Germany and commanding the first naval air squadron to operate from a warship at sea. He continued to serve in the Royal Navy until 1935, retiring with the rank of Captain. This photograph, taken in the 1950s, captures Sueter in his later years, but his legacy in naval aviation remains as vibrant as ever. His pioneering work paved the way for the modern naval aviation forces that continue to protect and defend our shores. This historical image is a testament to Sueter's remarkable career and his enduring impact on naval history.
