You guessed it, the Short S.45 Solent by Jens B. Kristensen.

A little cruise over the San Juan Islands. ENBseries cranked to 11. Enjoy!

























Is it just me... or does the co-pilot look like a blow-up doll!!!!

All great shots
Cool aircraft 8-)

#3 & 4 are beauties. 8-)

Wonderful shots...

Shorts made a big mistake when they did not make these aircraft into amphibians like the Consolidated Canso/PBY5A or the Grumman Albatross...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks everybody 

I wish she were an amphibian, I think i'd fly her a little more often if she was, but there is a certain charm not to be had in anything less that a "Flying Boat".

Thanks to all you SimVees for your inspiration, you're starting to carve a warm little place in the corner of my being...

Good grief! No I havn't!!! but now i'm pulling it up on netflix as we speak, I GOTTA see this! 

The co-pilot has definitely been nicked from the set of Airplane!

I knew it looked familiar........
Also, the last shot is kind of a double image. If you just look at the silhouette, it's hard to tell if the plane is coming or going 8-)

Hey, that's true... didn't notice that before! except the floats seem to end up a bit pidgeon-toed... 

Nice pics - I love all the Short flying boats!
