Hello Ross,
The Admiralty Type 827 was an improvement of the same family of planes including the Type 184 (much like the RAF's BE series). I believe the main differences between the two is that the 827 had the different engine as noted earlier. It featured steel-tube interplane struts rather than wood, and the cockpits were modified so that it could be flown solo without the need for ballast. The land chassis was not standard on this type.
For more information try C.H. Barnes, 'Shorts Aircraft', Putnam, 1989.
