SB.6 Seamew

114k TMach5  6.5 years ago

The Short SB.6 "Seamew" was a British aircraft designed in 1951 by David Keith-Lucas of Shorts Brothers as a lightweight anti-submarine platform for the Royal Navy Fleet. It first flew on 23 August 1953, but, due to poor performance coupled with shifting defence doctrine, it never reached service and only 24 production aircraft had flown before the project was cancelled. It has been described as a "camel amongst race-horses".

FEATURES:
Pilot Ejection (AG-1)
38x Rockets
2x Torpedo
6x Depth charges (Drop AG-4,5,6 Detonate AG-7)
