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

In World War Two giant Sunderland flying boats protected shipping from attack to make sure supplies to the UK got through. Pembroke Dock was one of the most vital RAF bases in Wales. Find out more about the RAF of today at the #RAF100 Aircraft Tour at Cardiff City Hall 18-20 May. | Royal Air Force

The maritime magnificence that is the Short Sunderland - and a look inside! #warbirds #ww2 #wwii #short #sunderland | Daniel J Wheatcroft

ML796 has an interesting history - delivered in May 1945 she did not see action, but was instead sold to France. After service there she was bought privately and converted into a discotheque, from which she was rescued to be restored to the beautiful example we see today #warbirds #ww2 #short #sunderland #wwii | Daniel J Wheatcroft
