Actually Tony, that was in reference to the Short Sunderland.... don't ask me how I remember this, but I do - have always been enamoured of the Sunderland. The Cat was a better aircraft for the job, though, more maneuverable with a longer range...

Thanks, Keefy! Nice shots. It will look complete when it has that front turret back in place, though...

I knew someone would get me. Thanks Jiff I had forgotten about that monster of a thing! Would make the Catalina seem tiny in comparison.

Thanks Andrew

We tried out a new camera on board the Boomerang - it was brilliant...
