Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The Royal Navy ordered eight N.2B patrol bomber seaplanes, serialed N66 to N73, only the first two (c/n S.419 and S.420) were produced, the balance was cancelled. The two-seat aircraft had rearward folding wings and was powered by a 275 hp Sunbeam Maori I twelve-cylinder liquid-cooled V-engine. Its armament consisted of one 0.303 in (7.7 mm) machine gun and two 220 lb (100 kg) bombs."
