It would be nice to have another Sunderland in flying condition.
But... oh the cost !

Ther may still be a Sunderland Mk.5 fuselage beached at the Chatham islands east of New Zealand if anyone has the time money and energy ?

It was used as a chicken coop by a farmer after it struck a rock. Best person to contact is Craig Emeny of Air Chathams. His father was a wartime fighter pilot in the UK.
