Notes

↑ The Fairey F.2 was a large twin-engine three-seater built in autumn 1916. While performance was good, it was not selected for production.^[2]
↑ The Fairey F.127 was a 1917 prototype floatplane that led to the Fairey III series. It was also known as the N.9.
↑ The Fairey F.128 or N.10 was a second prototype floatplane for the III series and was redesigned the Fairey III. The IIIA merely switched to a vee-undercarriage and modified radiator.^[3]
