| The Singapore III reconnaissance and coastal patrol flying-boat was basically the production version of the earlier Singapore II, itself developed from the twin Buzzard-engined Singapore I of 1926. Thirty-seven Singapore Ills were delivered to the RAF, entering service in the spring of 1935. The last few aircraft were withdrawn in late 1941, when they were transferred to the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Power was provided by four 417kW Rolls-Royce Kestrel VIII engines mounted in tandem pairs between the biplane wings.
