Great pics! 250 mile crawl home in slow traffic this morning, what joy!

During WWII the Shorts Sunderland was built on the shores of Lake Windermere.



You can visit the place where they were built. There's a Sunderland lovingly preserved at RAF Hendon. This aircraft had the unusual configuration of having its bombs stored in the midsection and then winched up to racks that were rolled out under the wings to be dropped!


There were six bunks, a gas-fired galley, a porcelain toilet, and a small machine shop for in-air repairs. Gae big or gae haem!
