As the machine is a service type (reconnaissance) details may not be published, but the "Singapore," in addition to being all-metal except for the wing covering, is claimed definitely to be able to fly with one engine stopped, even when carrying full load. The freedom from water soakage attained with a metal hull increases the useful load very materially, while the anti-corrosion treatment has now been found very effective, with consequent gain in the life of a machine.
