A question; I know nothing about the Belfast but can anyone post here on just how good an A/C it was, compared to the C130 Hercules?

I have a vague recollection of once reading somewhere that it was, in almost all aspects, somewhat inferior to the C130.

Can someone elucidate?

Re Packapoo's comment that Shorts knew a thing or two about Flying Boats; I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that my late Father, 39814 Baum; Ronald Wilhelm, W/O1 Pilot 461 SQN RAAF would agree with you.
