- A large flying boat that first flew in 1937.
- This highly sophisticated aircraft was the culmination of the Short Brothers' work, and was used to hunt U-boats in the Atlantic during World War II.

- They were also deployed to the Foreign Legion in Exile and achieved many victories under the command of the British Army.
- The Mk.V engine was changed to a US-made P&WR-1830, improving the underpowered nature of the tank compared to its own weight.
