Supermarine Seamew
The Supermarine Seamew was a British twin engined amphibian, built by the Supermarine company, intended as a small, shipborne aircraft.
==Design and development==
The British Air Ministry placed an order for two Seamews in 1925, to meet Specification 29/24.〔London 2003, pp. 92, 94.〕 The Seamew featured a wooden hull and two bay folding biplane wings with mainplanes utilizing a wood and metal composite construction with fabric covering and braced tail unit with twin fins and rudders. The aircraft was powered by two geared Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV radial engines mounted between the wings, driving two-bladed tractor propellers. As an amphibian, it had a retractable main undercarriage with fixed tailskid. The crew of three had a single pilot in the nose cockpit, a forward gunner behind the pilot but forward of the lower wing and rear gunner aft of the lower wing.〔Andrews and Morgan 1987, pp. 112–114.〕〔London 2003, p. 94.〕
Development of the Seamew was slow, as Supermarine were busy with other projects, including the Southampton flying boat and the S.4 and Supermarine S.5 racing floatplanes for the Schneider Trophy.〔〔Andrews and Morgan 1987, p. 113.〕 The Seamew first prototype ''N212'' made its maiden flight on 9 January 1928.〔Andrews and Morgan 1987, p. 114.〕
