Very short thread this time!

The Short Singapore entered service with the RAF in 1934 and only 37 were built in total due to pre-war development of more modern aircraft.

The Singapore Mk III was a biplane seaplane with 4 x Rolls-Royce Kestrel engines and it's primary role was air-sea rescue and ant-submarine work.

The Singapore was armed with 3 x 7.7mm Lewis machine guns 1,100 lb of bombs.

This example is a Singapore Mk III of 203 Squadron RAF 1940.
