The British Deperdussin Seagull was a seaplane developed by the British Deperdussin Company, the English subsidiary of the French firm Société Pour les Appareils Deperdussin. Frederick Koolhoven, who joined Louis Bechereau's staff in early 1912 and was sent to England that summer, oversaw the design and development of British Deperdussin aircraft. The Seagull was a tractor monoplane with a monocoque fuselage. Instead of the wires and turnbuckles that were the common way of bracing wings at the time, its wings were braced by a truss running under the fuselage from wingtip to wingtip, and the wing fabric was reinforced with crossed threads so that bullet damage would stay confined to one square. It rode on a short, wide main float with a teardrop float at each end of the wing truss and an aerodynamically shaped tail float. Power came from one 100 hp Anzani ten-cylinder air-cooled radial. It was built as a competitor for an Admiralty requirement for a reconnaissance seaplane. The Admiralty ordered two, but the poor performance of the prototype led to the order being cancelled, and with the War Office ban on monoplanes this ended further development.
