This extremely rare aircraft was commissioned by the Royal Danish Navy at Supermarine in Southampton, England in 1927. The plane did not live up to the specifications and its delivery was rejected. The aircraft was converted to a luxury 12-seat civil transport for the use of the Irish brewing magnate, Arthur Ernest Guinness, being renamed the Supermarine Solent.

There are extremely few photos of this plane, and most of them are now in my possession. Likewise is a 3-view, and I will in the coming months, attempt to build a model in scale 1:5.
