The Short Singapore was a multi-engined biplane flying boat built after the First World War. The design was developed into two four-engined versions: the prototype Short Brothers: Singapore II and production Short Brothers: Singapore III. The latter became the Royal Air Force's main long-range maritime patrol flying boat of the 1930s and saw service against the Japanese with the Royal New Zealand Air Force during the Second World War.[1]
