Hi Bud - I Found In The History Of Shorts Book - That The B.o.a.c. 'c' Class Empire Type Boats Started Ops. On The Lagos - Cairo Route From July 1941 - But Were Camo Finish To Look Like Sunderlands - Presumably As They Were Unarmed - And That Might Frighten The Luftwaffe Off !

Boats Were Manned By Civil Aircrew - Brave Lads I Think - How Else May I Best Assist You ? -ta J.c.
