I don't have the reference to hand, but the Seamew wasn't designed as a backup to the Gannet, it was designed as a mass-produceable, rugged and simple to maintain aircraft that could be quickly produced in the event of a war and suitable for operations from the small carriers like Ocean or Theseus.

I checked this out, the Gannet and Seamew are to entirely different specifications, with the Gannet flying before the contract had even been awarded for the Seamew. I have accordingly rewritten the article in light of the reference. Emoscopes 00:37, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
