It was, in fact, the useless Saro Lerwick twin engined flying boat which had the earliest 'pig' nickname. Actually, it was called the 'Sinking Pig' after its singular inability to maintain height on one engine...... It looked like a slightly smaller Sunderland with just 2 engines, flew about as well as the Sunderland did on 2 engines and had a vicious stall.
