The modern variant of the Sunderland lacked a key feature.

Well done on spotting the survivors in the rafts, Hoskins. But next time, just radio their position.

The pilot claimed to be experienced in flying water-bombers but admitted to flying a little too low on this occasion. Also in the wrong aircraft, for the wrong operator and departing from the wrong airport.
