The Short Admiralty Type 184, often called the Short 225 after the power rating of the engine was first fitted, was a British two-seat reconnaissance, bombing and torpedo carrying designed by Horace Short of the Short Brothers. It was first flown in 1915 and remained in service until after the armistice in 1918. A Short 184 was the first to sink a ship using a torpedo, and another was the only British aircraft to take part in the Battle of Jutland. Designer: Horace Short. First Flight: 1915. Retired: 1933 (Estonia). Number Built: 936. Primary users: Royal Naval Air Service, Royal Flying Corps, Hellenic Navy, Estonian Air Force. Variants: •Type D A conversion into a single seat bomber with the pilot's position now in the rear cockpit, the space previously used for the front cockpit being used to stow 65 Ib bombs. •Dover Type 184; Used by the Dover Patrol seaplane stations at Newhaven and Cherbourg, equipped with larger main floats and modified wing tip floats to cope with rough sea conditions. Enjoy! ;-) I forgot to add torpedos and bombs. sry.

    Not too bad but it has too little wing area for its weight and power. Other than that it looks great! Nice cockpit
