Short Singapore

The Short Singapore was a British multi-engined biplane flying boat built after World War I. The Singapore name first appeared in the mid-1920s on a one-off twin-engined record-breaking aircraft. The design was developed into two four-engined versions; the prototype Singapore II and production Singapore III.
