Length

[edit]

The specifications quotes the length of the aircraft as 64 ft - while the reference and some written sources 9William Green, warplanes of the Second World War, Volume 5 Flying Boats) agree with this, others (i.e the Encyclopedia of World Aircraft) disagree - any idea what is the right one?

Perhaps there is some confusion because of the three different boats, AJ Jackson's British Civil Aircraft since 1919 has the Singapore I at 65ft 6in, the Orbis Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft has 76ft 0in for the Singapore III. MilborneOne 20:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting - the usual suspects of measuring length tail down or hull excluding vertical cannot explain it. I wonder whether the addition of the tail gun position could possibly be an explanation? Winstonwolfe 03:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going for the shorter one - its seems to be quoted by more recent sources (and more of them - and seems to scale right on drawings Nigel Ish 22:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
