The Supermarine Southampton first flew on the 10th March 1925 and entered use with the RAF the following August (No. 480 (Coastal Reconnaissance) Flight, RAF Calshot). It had twin engines and triple fins.



The Short S.5 / Singapore I first flew on the 17th August 1925 and had a single fin and rudder. The triple fin was used on the S.19 / Singapore III which first flew on the 15th June 1934.



The top wing of the Singapore was more swept back than the Southampton, whose top wing appears in photographs to be straight at 90 degrees to the fuselage.
