Short. Различные самолеты 1920-1932 годов
<...>
После того как два прототипа S.6 Sturgeon проиграли конкурс самолету Fairey IIIF, их базовая конструкция использовалась при разработке S.10 Gurnard I и II, которые оснащались двигателями Bristol Jupiter X и Rolls-Royce Kestrel II, соответственно. Впрочем, несмотря на высокие характеристики, в очередном конкурсе победил Hawker Osprey.
