HMS Hermes, written on the back of the photo “Arrived Sheerness July 24 1933”
No information, but must have been between 1930/33
This is a Lockheed Sirius aircraft. It was almost certainly taken on Wednesday 30 September 1931 when a Lockheed Sirius (named "Tingmissartoq") piloted by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh landed on the Yangtze River at Hankow near HMS Sirius.

Written very faint, i think it says “June 31 survivors Poseidon”
“June 31 survivors Poseidon”
“June 31 survivors Poseidon”
“June 31 survivors Poseidon”
Tingmissartoq being craned aboard HMS Hermes. Looks like Colonel Lindbergh standing on the wing. Looks like Anne Morrow Lindbergh sitting above the rear cockpit.
HM S/M Poseidon collided with a Chinese merchant vessel Yuta on 5 June 1931. Upon reaching the site of the collision Hermes launched 4 boats and picked up 5 survivors of whom one later died. The heavy cruiser HMS Cumberland which arrived first on the scene picked up many more survivors. 22 crew died in total.
