The Short SB.6 Seamew was a British aircraft designed in 1951 by David Keith-Lucas of Shorts as a lightweight anti-submarine platform to replace the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm (FAA)'s Grumman Avenger AS 4 with the Reserve branch of the service. It first flew on 23 August 1953 but due to poor performance coupled with shifting defence doctrine it never reached service and only 19 were built before the project was cancelled. It has been described as a camel amongst race-horses.

A model of the Short Seamew prototype for a British Fleet Air Arm anti-submarine spotter. This peculiar-looking aircraft makes a small, light No-Cal, and a good flier. All silver color scheme.1
I am just finishing a Short Seamew scratch-built model, and have covered it with nylon, using Balsaloc to tack it in place round the edges.2
short seamew ( another long time project) but was intrigued by the short water planes. Attached Thumbnails * Name: SHT1OF2.3

Made by Short Brothers.

The Short Seamew was definitely not. The Gannet was a thing of beauty compared to it.4
The Short Seamew was a highly curious looking aircraft designed in 1951 by David Keith-Lucas of Shorts as a lightweight anti-submarine platform.5
