name<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Balloons under the Battersea arches<\/h3>\n<p>Short Brothers began with a second-hand balloon. In 1897 Eustace Short bought one filled with coal gas and, with his brother Oswald, started making balloons, first above their brother Horace&rsquo;s laboratory in Hove and then in railway arches at Battersea, handily next to the gasworks. Charles Rolls ordered one for the 1906 Gordon Bennett race. Then in 1908 Aero Club members came back from Le Mans with stories of the Wright brothers. Oswald is reported to have told Eustace that it was <span class=\"imp\">the finish of ballooning<\/span> and that they must build aeroplanes at once, and could not do it without Horace. In November 1908 the three registered their partnership.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">The first aircraft factory in the world<\/h3>\n<p>They had bought the British rights to the Wright design, and in February 1909 began building a workshop on marshland at Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey. An initial batch of six Wright Flyers was laid down there at once, making Shorts <span class=\"imp\">the first company in the world to put an aeroplane into series production<\/span>. Moving to Eastchurch in 1910, Shorts trained the first naval pilots and became the Admiralty&rsquo;s favourite supplier of floatplanes. On 15 August 1915, at Gallipoli, a Short 184 flown from HMS Ben-my-Chree became the first aircraft to sink a ship with an air-launched torpedo; 936 were built.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Empire boats and the Sunderland<\/h3>\n<p>From its seaplane works on the Medway at Rochester, Shorts became the master of the British flying boat. The Calcutta and Kent took Imperial Airways around the Mediterranean, and the Empire boat of 1936 carried the airmail across the Empire. In 1938 the Short Mayo Composite, a small floatplane launched from the back of a larger flying boat, made the first commercial non-stop east-west Atlantic crossing by an aeroplane and then flew 6,045 miles from Dundee to South Africa, still the seaplane distance record. The Empire&rsquo;s military sister, the Sunderland, hunted U-boats throughout the Second World War, and 749 were built.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Nationalised and moved to Belfast<\/h3>\n<p>The war years were less happy for the company itself. Its Stirling, the first of the RAF&rsquo;s four-engine heavy bombers, was hamstrung by a short wing and a bomb bay that could not take larger bombs, and the government grew uneasy about Oswald Short&rsquo;s leadership. In 1943 it <span class=\"imp\">nationalised Shorts<\/span> under Defence Regulation 78. The Rochester works had already been bombed, and the Belfast factory, opened in 1936 as Short &amp; Harland with the shipbuilder Harland and Wolff, became the centre of gravity. By 1948 the whole company had moved to Belfast, where it built the experimental SC.1 vertical take-off jet, Canberras and Britannias under contract, and the Seacat, Blowpipe and Starstreak missiles.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Skyvans, Tucanos and three owners in five years<\/h3>\n<p>Its own designs grew boxy and practical. The 1963 Skyvan, a slab-sided utility freighter, begat the Shorts 330 and 360 commuter airliners and the C-23 Sherpa for the US forces, and the Shorts Tucano, a re-engineered Embraer design, trained RAF pilots for 30 years. The firm also bore Northern Ireland&rsquo;s divisions, from loyalist flag disputes on the shop floor to the 1993 murder of a Catholic sub-contractor. Bombardier bought it for &pound;30 million in 1989, after the government wrote off &pound;390 million of losses. Spirit AeroSystems took over in 2020, and on 8 December 2025 <span class=\"imp\">Boeing revived the old name<\/span>: Short Brothers &ndash; A Boeing Company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"pull\">Three balloon-making brothers from a railway arch in Battersea became the first company in the world to build aeroplanes in series, gave Britain its great flying boats, and survive in Belfast as part of Boeing.<cite>Short Brothers &middot; verified 2026-10-03<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Short Brothers in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>The company<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>In short<\/dt>\n<dd>Founded 1908<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>Balloon business from 1897; aircraft partnership registered November 1908<\/li>\n<li>First factory at Leysdown, Isle of Sheppey, 1909; Eastchurch 1910; Rochester from 1913&ndash;1915<\/li>\n<li>Short &amp; Harland formed in Belfast with Harland and Wolff, 1936<\/li>\n<li>Nationalised 1943; whole company in Belfast by 1948<\/li>\n<li>Owners: Bombardier 1989, Spirit AeroSystems 2020, Boeing 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Production<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Best known for<\/dt>\n<dd>Sunderland, Stirling, Skyvan, 360<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>Short 184: 936 built<\/li>\n<li>Stirling: 2,371 built, including by Austin<\/li>\n<li>Sunderland: 749 built<\/li>\n<li>Short 360: 165 built; Short 330: 141 built<\/li>\n<li>Tucano: 160 built; Skyvan: 149 built<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Today<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Now<\/dt>\n<dd>Boeing aerostructures, Belfast<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>Builds primary structures, flight controls, nacelles and thrust reversers<\/li>\n<li>Boeing took on about 2,400 of the site&rsquo;s 3,500 staff in December 2025<\/li>\n<li>Airbus-related production leased to Airbus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"gnote\">Shorts has built no complete aircraft of its own design since the Tucano programme ended in the 1990s.<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>The numbers<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Short 184 built<\/dt>\n<dd>936<\/dd>\n<dt>Stirling built<\/dt>\n<dd>2,371<\/dd>\n<dt>Sunderland built<\/dt>\n<dd>749<\/dd>\n<dt>Bombardier purchase price<\/dt>\n<dd>&pound;30 million, plus &pound;390 million of losses written off<span class=\"gnote\">1989<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>Belfast site staff<\/dt>\n<dd>about 3,500, of whom 2,400 joined Boeing<span class=\"gnote\">2025<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>Seaplane distance record<\/dt>\n<dd>6,045 miles, Dundee to Alexander Bay<span class=\"gnote\">1938<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"fleet\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">The aircraft<\/div>\n<h2>Every notable Short Brothers aircraft<\/h2>\n<div class=\"acgrid\"><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/short-sunderland\/\"><span class=\"im ph2\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Short Sunderland<\/b><em>Maritime patrol flying boat &middot; first flight 1937 &middot; 749 built<\/em><\/span><\/a><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/short-stirling\/\"><span class=\"im ph3\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Short Stirling<\/b><em>Heavy bomber and transport &middot; first flight 1939 &middot; 2,371 built<\/em><\/span><\/a><span class=\"acard\"><span class=\"im ph4\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Short SC.7 Skyvan<\/b><em>STOL utility freighter &middot; first flight 1963 &middot; 149 built<\/em><\/span><\/span><span class=\"acard\"><span class=\"im ph5\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Short Belfast<\/b><em>Heavy-lift military freighter &middot; first flight 1964 &middot; 10 built<\/em><\/span><\/span><span class=\"acard\"><span class=\"im ph6\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Short 330<\/b><em>Commuter airliner &middot; first flight 1974 &middot; 141 built<\/em><\/span><\/span><span class=\"acard\"><span class=\"im ph7\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Short 360<\/b><em>Commuter airliner &middot; first flight 1981 &middot; 165 built<\/em><\/span><\/span><span class=\"acard\"><span class=\"im ph8\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Short Tucano<\/b><em>Turboprop trainer &middot; first flight 1986 &middot; 160 built<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"pcred\">Photos: Ole Friele Backer (1907&#8212;1947) \/ Wikimedia Commons (Public domain); Royal Air Force Stirling.
