	Short Seamew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Short Seamew was selected to fulfil Admiralty Specification M.123, for a simple, lightweight anti-submarine aircraft capable of unassisted operation from any of the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers in all but the worst of conditions.
		Arthur Pearcy wrote "only Short Brothers' test pilot Wally Runciman seemed able to outwit its vicious tendencies and exploit its latent manoeuvrability to the limit." Rumours that the crash had been cause by a material failure were current at the time but the accident investigation did not confirm them.

	The Reluctant Dragon - Two Versions of the Sword Curtiss SO3C Seamew in 1/72 Scale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Curtiss SO3C Seamew was a two seat, single-engine scout plane, equipped with a choice of fixed undercarriage or a large centre float with two outrigger floats.
		A remarkable feature of all Seamews was that they were supplied to the US Navy with a fixed wheel undercarriage.
		For a short run kit, the fit is excellent; the sprue gates are reasonably thick, there is no flash and the parts are sharply moulded with delicate panel lines.

	Short Brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shorts was the first true aviation company in the world, and was a manufacturer of flying boats during the 1920's and 30's and throughout the Second World War.
		The Short Sunderland, widely operated by the Allied powers during World War II Shorts then started design work on one of their most famous designs, the Short Calcutta, based on the Singapore layout but larger and more powerful.
		In the 1970s Shorts entered the feederliner market with their Shorts 330, a stretched modification of the Skyvan, called the C-23 Sherpa in USAF service, and another stretch resulted in the more streamlined Shorts 360, in which a more conventional central fin superseded the older H-profiled twin fins.

	Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums - Short Seamew:anything left?? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Seamew was designed to fill a need for a cheap, lightweight, and simple anti submarine patrol aircraft for NATO, with the idea being that large numbers would be needed, in the event of war, to protect ships and harbours.
		In the Seamews case the combination of large wing area and low weight prevented this from happening and it was subjected to considerable buffeting on the landing approach due to disturbed airflow around the carriers island and deck.
		Seamew was to keep Russkie subs down, hoping they would not discover the modest payload of a wooden machine.

	Sword's 1/72 SO3C Seagull/Seamew in 1/72 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Seamews were a bit better off than the USN versions, as they had the heavy floats removed and were fitted with fixed landing gear.
		Only a couple of squadrons used the Seamew in any kind of quantity, and it was quickly phased out of active service when other Lend/Lease types came on board, most notably the Vought Kingfisher.
		The decal options are for one USN SO3C flown off of the cruiser USS Denver in January 1943 and one FAA Seamew from 755 Squadron in April 1944.

	Aircraft Recognition Question [Archive] - Military Images Photos Pictures Forums
		The Seamew was as odd-looking or more so than the Gannet, with a deep, relatively narrow fuselage, a two-placed cockpit perched very high to give the crew a good view, a radome directly under the cockpit, and fixed taildragger landing gear.
		The Seamew's handling was said to have left something to be desired, and despite work to improve matters the aircraft never proved very satisfactory.

		It was built from the Walt Mooney plan, the only alteration being to fit movable elevators and rudder, hinged with short pieces of soft wire (from sandwich bag closures).
		Weight without rubber is 12.5 g, including a woodscrew in the nose to get the c of g correct.
		I have also made the old, and rather less accurate, Veron kit of the Seamew and a photo of it can be found elsewhere on the site.

		Finding some decals was not hard as the Seamew did not carry a lot of markings.
		The model of the Short Seamew vacu was similarly finished as the other FAA models.
		After ample decals drying time, the SeaMew model got another coat of matt Johnson Clear, realized by mixing into the varnish some Tamiya Matting no. X21 "flat base" agent.

		I thought my drawings for this had been lost several years ago, but found them up in the loft while I was doing a bit of clearing out.
		If any of you build a Seamew from these plans, I would love to hear how you got on - be sure to send me a picture of the finished model!
		The Seamew was Short's design for a lightweight, simple ASW (anti-submarine warfare) aircraft to specification M.123, issued in 1951.

		The Saab J-29 was the first European, post WWII, swept-wing jet fighter in service.
		It had a short, barrel-like fuselage and swept wings.
		The Short Seamew was a highly curious looking aircraft designed in 1951 by David Keith-Lucas of Shorts as a lightweight anti-submarine platform.

	The Bréguet Alizés of the Indian Navy
		Choosing the Alizé as an ASM platform aircraft was a well thought out decision by the Indians.
		They were on the one hand heavily influenced by the British, who were pushing the Fairey Gannet and Short Seamew, while France was offering its Bréguet 1050 Alizé.
		The latter was judged superior to its two British rivals and a deal which would see the procurement of twelve of these planes was signed in 1960.

		This resulted in a lot of interesting stuff like shore based ASW mortars, short ranged coastal ASW aircraft and north sea convoy protection corvettes being cancelled - it's also why the BAC lightning had a very high rate of climb and very little range.
		In short there were ways round any European intransigence, the question is would the US really have ignored their pleas not to go nuclear?
