Short Sunderland Mk V ML824 at RAFM Hendon. #ww2 #WWII #ww2history #sunderland #warbirds | Daniel J Wheatcroft

Here's a tour I've been wanting to do for some time now . . . a full VIP walk around of the Short Sunderland flying boat. I had the opportunity to do this during a hangar reset when the Sunderland was brought outside for a bit. This two-part clip is loaded with a bit of history, some cool stories, and plenty of useful or useless information, depending on your point of view. Hope you enjoy seeing this very rare seaplane, up close and personal. | Kermit Weeks

The Short Sunderland was a British four-engine flying boat introduced in 1938 and widely used by the Royal Air Force Coastal Command. Its primary roles included long-range maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, convoy protection, and search-and-rescue across the Atlantic and other sea lanes. With long endurance and heavy defensive armament for its class, the Sunderland played a significant role in securing Allied shipping routes throughout the war. #ShortSunderland #WWIIAircraft #FlyingBoat #C
