227:. Design work was divided between the company's Rochester and Belfast facilities, the former worked on the hull and tail unit while the latter focused on the wing and engine configuration. The design drew greatly upon the larger Solent, but also incorporated the latest advances in structural design, including the use of draw-sunk stiffeners for the ribs and bulkheads. Additionally, the wing of the Sealand was given a higher aspect ratio than the Solent to improve both its rate of climb and efficiency in cruise flight.

317:-3 inverted inline air cooled piston engines, each capable of generating up to 340 hp. These engines were intentionally mounted as high as reasonably achievable on the wing so that sufficient clearance from spray would be provided, although this was reduced somewhat during trials in order to reduce drag. To ease water handling,

It could take off from and land on rivers, lakes and sheltered bays or prepared runways, and could be flown by either a single pilot or a pilot and navigator.

During 1952, the Indian Navy ordered a batch of ten
Sealands, which were built to an enhanced specification. Accordingly, these aircraft featured dual controls, increased fuel capacity and uprated engines. All ten aircraft were delivered between January and November 1953. The final Sealand in service

Early on in the type's career, it was determined that, while well suited for operating from sheltered waters and possessing largely favourable seaworthiness qualities, landing upon the open sea was challenging for Sealand pilots, leading to some modifications being made to improve its performance.

As early as 1949, Shorts commenced vigorous sales efforts surrounding the
Sealand; according to aviation author C. H. Barnes, demonstrations of the aircraft typically made good impressions on prospective customers. A further batch of ten Sealands were built and sold to a variety of small operators,

In addition to the prototype, a total of four pre-production aircraft were produced, the first of which was retained by Shorts for demonstration purposes (eventually crashing in fog while on a sales tour of Norway, killing both the pilot and the sales representative). The other three pre-production

Shorts retained the first prototype (G-AIVX) for company use, often using it without the wing-floats and struts to increase payload. Seeing several years of use, it was ultimately scrapped after its
Certificate of Airworthiness expired in April 1955.

The compact SA.6 concept appeared to have considerable sales potential, being sized as to facilitate its use from inland lakes and other bodies of water. During July 1946, the company announced its intention to produce the SA.6, assigning it the name
