Walking through the Sunderland is fascinating. They also have a wooden fuselage from an earlier flying boat whose name I have forgotten.

Specially made brass screws and nails, beautiful varnished timber, and twin skin construction is beautifully done and clear to see in the curved open gunner's ports. Absolutely stunning piece of woodwork and restoration!

Edit: Supermarine Southampton, they also have a metal one:
