I certainly find it annoying when correspondents are more interested with correcting peoples's grammar and drifting off at a tangent. (Strictly speaking, of course, a tangent is a line intercepting an arc and transecting the radius at a right angle, although other views are held).
Anyway, the Sunderland was a flying plane that floated on the sea like a boat so, I suppose, all of the above.
