Dec 27, 2015 #1 Clave Senior Master Sergeant 3,200 76 Jun 15, 2005 Deep in suburban Surrey 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. This example is a Singapore Mk III of 204 Squadron RAF 1938. This example is a Singapore Mk III of 5 Squadron RNZAF 1940.

Not many at all, I did not have much to work with in the end - these three are the 'leftovers' from a commission of 12 aircraft
