I have been amazed at the interest this thread has invoked.I have long known of the affection of those priveledged to fly her,but it seems we are not alone in appreciating a once great workhorse. Not to mention a really superb aircraft.
You see, you just have to post about Boats and we all come creeping out of the woodwork.
There certainly is a mystique about them. The other day I was in the office (I usually work from home) and had my laptop open. My screen background is a photograph of a Sunderland. My boss had brought his ten year old daughter into the office and she saw the photograph and aske wat it was. Shw then wanted to know what Flying Boats were. Her reaction was "Cool, why don't they exist today?". Strange to think that Dornier Flying Boats were built less than 30 km from where she was born.
