Basically a landplane version of the Short 184 powered normally by a 186kW Rolls-Royce Eagle III engine and featuring a four-wheel main landing gear. Eighty-two production aircraft were built for the RNAS out of 110 ordered, some of which were later transferred to the RFC and one was presented to the French government. Maximum level speed was 124km/h.

| Martin Giles, mgiles(@)dslextreme.com, 12.03.2009 Every other source I have (6) quotes the span as 85ft. The metric conversion is correct but...a foot off. And, 12 in is 1 foot. |
