Nice shots. I was lucky enough to see the Shorts Sunderland at Chatham and West Malling before it departed UK shores in 1989...

[Hagar]

Errr. That's the Sunderland Jimbo. It's a flying boat, not an amphibian.

That kitchen looks just like the one in a certain Tu-152 I was in at Ferihegy last year!

[Jimbo]

Sorry about that, i wil have to correct it!

I was reading a post on Amphibians on a other forum, and got kinda 'twisted

[Hagar]

Errm, Jimbo. It's not the largest flying boat in the world either. That honour goes to the Hughes H-4, the Spruce Goose. http://www.sprucegoose.org/aircraft_artifacts/exhibits.html

[Jimbo]

Anything else? you gonna tell me that the plane is invisible!>

Im only telling you , what the guides was telling me!,or the info board as well!!  ;)

I guess simv will be better than any guides or info boards!  ;D

Cheers Doug, and continue to find mistakes  ;)

[Hagar]

LOL Well, it's definitely the biggest flying boat in that museum - or in Florida come to that. Maybe I should apply for a job. I can think of a lot worse things to do.

Well done.

I was going to say - the Spruce Goose is back in public view now...

[Jimbo]

Well i found this from the info boards, this is where i got my facts from...Maybe i didn't include the word  "passenger"



Cheers

I think that sign means it's the largest airworth flying boat left in the world these days I saw this fly quite a few times back in the 80's.

[Hagar]

The Sunderland was flown in there by Kermit Weeks himself but I don't think it's airworthy now.

PS. What about the Martin Mars water bombers in Canada?

There is no winning with you guys is there!

There is no winning with you guys is there!

Sorry Jimbo. Just being my usual pedantic, annoying self. All in good fun.

[Jimbo]

yeah i know.....its like my uncle and motorcylces

No problem, at least next time i will PM Doug, with every peice of aviation material, so he can identify it for me, just to be certain!...
