Мировая Авиация 233

Одна из самых знаменитых гидроавиабаз британских ВМС "Виндекс" несла несколько гидросамолетов Short 184, один из которых изображен здесь с подвешенной торпедой. В других случаях самолеты несли бомбы. 25 мая 1916 года они атаковали ангары дирижаблей в Тондерне, правда, безрезультатно.

Type 827 и 830 использовались в качестве бомбардировщиков и патрульных самолетов. В Восточной Африке они действовали с вооруженных лайнеров. Type 830 на снимке несет необычный камуфляж.
Торпедные атаки британской морской авиации. 12 августа 1915г.: британский авианесущий корабль "Бен-Ма-Кри", выйдя 21 мая 1915 года из базы Гарвич (Эссекс) дошел до пролива Дарданеллы, доставив два гидросамолета Short Тип 184. При охоте на вражеские суда в заливе Ксерос из-за сильной жары продолжительность полета этих самолетов составляла всего 45 минут. 12 августа при патрулировании у Инже Бурну флайт-коммандер С.Х. К. Эдмондз заметил большой пароход и на дальности 274 м сбросил 356-мм торпеду с высоты 4,5 м. Эдмондз стал первым пилотом, атаковавшим корабль авиационной торпедой.

This is a war-time picture of a Short seaplane leaving Plymouth Sound for a submarine patrol in the Channel. Plymouth Hoe is very distinctive in the centre. These Short seaplanes were widely used for sea patrols all round our coasts. They were fitted with 225 h.p. Sunbeam engines, carried two bombs (250 and 100 lb.), complete wireless equipment, and a crew of two. Their range was over 6 hours, and they were noted for extreme stability.

The Short 184 served in large numbers with the RNAS and was the first aircraft ever to sink an enemy ship at sea with a torpedo.

Special Brigade officer Lt Grantham holds a pair of “M Air Bombs” beside a Short 184 seaplane at Lake Onega, near Murmansk, in September 1919. The M Air Bomb incorporated diphenylamine chlorarsine and a thermogenerator which heated the chemical to create a highly toxic smoke that lasted for about two minutes, but which left no permanent effects.

Recently discovered forming part of a garden fence in Lee-on-Solent were the propeller blades, possibly taken from World War One Short 184 seaplanes at HMS Daedalus. The garden's location is being kept secret because its lady owner is hacked off with enthusiasts hacking bits off her fence.

A Short 310-A4 torpedo-dropping seaplane, which has apparently been recovered at sea by the Donna Nook of Fleetwood, is brought ashore at an unknown dock. Named from the 310 h.p. Sunbeam Cossack engine which powered it (later 320 h.p.), the 310-A4 first flew in July 1916, and most of the 127 built were used for long-range patrol. With a crew of two and a pair of 230lb bombs the aircraft had an endurance of six hours. A further variant, the 310-B, designed from the outset as a patrol seaplane, did not go into production.

A development of the Type 184 was the ’310. Illustrated is the Sunbeam Cossack-powered Type A prototype, 8317, which first flew in July 1916. Following structural strengthening, the Type A4 was standardised on and 74 were built by Shorts with Sunbeam building a further 50.
