| Klaatu83, e-mail, 02.11.2012 19:35 The Shirl was a shipboard torpedo bomber, intended as a replacement for the Sopwith Cuckoo, and designed in competition with Blackburn's "Blackburd". Neither was accepted by the British Admiralty.
A Shirl prototype was modified for an attempt to fly the Atlantic west-bound from Ireland, but the plane was forced to land in the Irish Sea due to engine failure before the proposed flight even began. reply | | Martin Giles, e-mail, 13.03.2009 04:29 The numbers in metres are actually the dimensions in feet. The numbers in feet are therefore totally wrong. reply |
