AD Seaplane Type 1000

The AD Seaplane Type 1000 was designed by Harris Booth of the British Admiralty's Air Department just prior to World War I. It was the world's first aircraft designed from scratch as a torpedo bomber, and when it first flew, was the largest British aircraft yet to take to the air.

The aircraft was a float-equipped biplane of pod-and-boom design, with engines mounted at the front of both booms, as well as at the rear of the crew pod. Seven aircraft were ordered from J. Samuel White, but the performance of the first one delivered proved so poor that the other machines were cancelled.
