The Short Crusader was a British racing seaplane of the 1920s built by Short Brothers. Powered by a Bristol Mercury engine, it was designed under Colonel W.A. Bristow, the detail design work being carried out by C.T.P Lipscomb at Shorts and construction by Shorts at Rochester. It was used as a backup and a training aircraft for the RAF High Speed Flight in their bid to win the Schneider Trophy in the 1927 competition staged at Venice. It crashed before competing, however, as a result of the inadvertent crossover of the aileron cables during reassembly after the trip to Italy.
