The Sarafand prototype was built at No. 3 Shop at Rochester, but the shop did not have enough height to fit the upper wing. The semi-completed flying boat was launched into the river on 15 Jun 1932 and moved to a new slipway, originally called the Barge Yard, for final assembly. Only one
S.14 was built (
serial S1589); it was later used for experimental flying at the
Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment at
Felixstowe. The Sarafand was scrapped there in 1936. ==Operators==
