how about the shorts sunderland.
i worked on the last flying type that was bought to the uk from the virgin islands by a mad millionair, ,we rebuilt the wing in 1989 after the storm in 87 damaged the starboard outerwing .
the aircraft was stored in chatham docks and flew in 90,but was sold to ryanair who sold it on to a collector in the states where it lies now in a mothballs.
