Short Sunderland Flying Boats

Any webfooters out there, especially those who served at RAF Seletar 205/209 Squadrons, would be good to hear from you, a reunion is scheduled in October 2002.

Does flying a bit of a Sunderland count? There was a strory that when Shorts built the Tucano, they used old hydraulic resevoirs for the emrgency Hyd system that were left overs from the Sunderland parts shelf.

If you contact the webmaster at
www.201-squadron.org.uk
He may advertise the bash for you as the association is fairly active. Not forgetting it was the No1 Sqn after all
