- Image Description:
- The above photo shows a Short Bomber and Port Victoria PV7 Grain Kitten fighter together in 1917. To meet the requirements of an Admiralty competition of 1915 for a bomber, Short produced a landplane version of the Short Type 184. The Short Bomber was a British two-seat long-range reconnaissance, bombing and torpedo carrying aircraft designed by Short Brothers. The Port Victoria P.V.7 Grain Kitten was a prototype British Fighter aircraft of the First World War designed and built by the Port Victoria Marine Experimental Aircraft Depot on the Isle of Grain. A very small and light biplane intended to fly off platforms on Royal Navy Destroyers, it was unsuccessful, only a single prototype being built.
